The Managing Director and CEO of Wema Bank Plc, Moruf Oseni, has been awarded the Fellowship of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) at an investiture held in Lagos, last weekend.

The CIBN Fellowship, which is the highest cadre of membership the Institute grants, is a hallmark of professional integrity, excellence and achievement. This prestigious award is a symbol of lifetime achievement and success, conferred on deserving individuals who have made a positive mark.

The award stands as the epitome of professionalism, ethics and transformative success, an attestation to the remarkable impact, admirable reputation and extraordinary results that have identified Oseni as a force to be reckoned with in the banking and financial services industry, the bank said in a statement.

Reputed as a catalyst of innovation and positive transformation, Oseni spearheaded the launch of ALAT, Africa’s first fully digital bank.

Further reinforcing his reputation as a pioneer of innovation, he rejigged the financial services industry earlier in 2024 with the launch of yet another first-of-its-kind in the Nigerian banking industry, CoopHub – a digital solution tailored to the needs of cooperative societies and designed to empower cooperatives for optimal productivity.

Oseni is an MBA holder from Institut European d’Administration des Affaires (INSEAD) in France, a master’s holder in Finance (MiF) from the London Business School and a first-degree holder in Computer Engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).

He is also an alumnus of both the King’s College in Lagos and the Advanced Management Program (AMP) of Harvard Business School.

“I am honoured by this recognition and I don’t take for granted the journey that has brought me this far. As an individual, my drive for excellence in every action, result and achievement has fuelled me to consistently exceed expectations and this passion for excellence continues to fuel my journey as the CEO of a bank that is dearer to me than anyone can imagine,” Oseni said.
