Adeduntan Adesola Rubs Shoulders With Aliko Dangote; Others

Celebration is fast becoming synonymous with Dr. Adeduntan Adesola, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of First Bank Limited.

Just eight months ago, he was adjudged the ‘Best Chief Executive Officer’ of the year at the Digital Innovation and Excellence awards held in Accra, Ghana.

The awards, which climaxed a Digital Banking Summit, saw the man being celebrated for his contributions that had spurred growth in the banking industry across Africa.

A hard worker, Adesola’s labour with the financial institution has not gone unnoticed since then.

Writing his own legacy, he has done enviably well, fast becoming like King Midas who turns everything he touches to Gold.

For this, he is set to be celebrated by one of the leading business platforms that have recognised renowned business executives such as Aliko Dangote, Chairman Dangote Group; Abdul Samad Rabiu, Chairman Bua Group and Folorunsho Alakija, Vice Chairman of Famfa Oil.

Come Friday, September 11, Adesola will be recognised and honoured alongside other prominent African business executives like the Chairman of Online Integrated Solutions Ltd, Mahmood Ahmadu.

The event is the Forbes Best of Africa Awards and it will definitely be one of the man’s finest times as a banker.
