Access Bank Plc has reinforced its leadership by appointing Uche Orji as an Independent Non-Executive Director, following approval from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This strategic move underscores the bank’s commitment to enhancing corporate governance, diversity, and expertise at the board level.
With three decades of experience in investment banking, technology, and infrastructure, Orji brings a wealth of knowledge from his tenure at leading global financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and UBS.
