Change of baton as Ohiwerei bows out at ARM Holding, Alli emerges new chairman

A leader in the fintech sector and outgoing Chairman of ARM Holding, Mr. Felix Ohiwerei, has exit the company after many years of meritorious service.

The firm at an exclusive and well-attended retirement dinner, celebrated Ohiwerei’s outstanding leadership and the significant contributions he made during his time as Chairman of ARM.

Ohiwerei, who was appointed as Chairman of ARM’s Board of Directors in May 2006, played a pivotal role in steering the company’s growth. His extensive experience, broad network, impeccable reputation, and unwavering dedication to ethical business practices were instrumental in shaping ARM’s success.

Under his guidance, ARM expanded its portfolio and solidified its position as a leading force in Nigeria’s financial services industry.

As ARM bids a heartfelt farewell to Ohiwerei, the company is poised for a new chapter of growth with the appointment of its founder, Mr. Deji Alli, as Chairman.

Alli brings a deep understanding of ARM’s mission and values, combined with his visionary leadership and profound expertise in capital markets and the Nigerian financial services sector. This leadership transition is expected to ensure the continued success of the company’s strategic direction, which has been key to ARM’s accomplishments.

According to the firm, Alli’s appointment underscores ARM’s commitment to maintaining its position as a leader in Nigeria’s financial sector while continuing to pioneer innovative products and services that define the company’s legacy.

In his remarks on the transition, Alli said, “It is an honour to step into this role following the distinguished leadership of Ohiwerei. His legacy is a guiding force for all of us at ARM, and I look forward to building on the strong foundation he established. Together with the Board, we are dedicated to driving ARM forward with a focus on innovation, client satisfaction, and impactful investments.”
