Tekedia Institute is delighted to congratulate Dr. Julius Omodayo-Owotuga on his appointment as Executive Director of First Bank Nigeria, effective May 13, 2026. Good People, one of Nigeria’s finest professionals has ascended to yet another important leadership position, and from all of us at Tekedia, we celebrate JB Omodayo-Owotuga, FCA, CFA, DBA on this remarkable milestone.
Beyond professional excellence, JB and the Omodayo-Owotuga family have demonstrated a deep commitment to investing in people. Through a multi-year endowment established in memory of Late Most Supreme Apostle Matthew Omodayo Owotuga, hundreds of young people have attended Tekedia Mini-MBA through scholarships provided at no cost to the beneficiaries.
Even in our upcoming edition beginning in June, another cohort of scholars from the Owotuga Foundation will join the program, continuing a legacy of empowering and developing future leaders.
Good People, leadership is not only measured by positions attained but also by lives impacted. Through the Owotuga Family initiative, many young people have gained access to knowledge and opportunities which have shaped their careers. We know the number of recommendation letters we complete monthly as scholars and learners ascend to higher levels.
For First Bank, I expect the elephant to discover new dance moves. We wish JB and the entire First Bank Team continued success and many more wins ahead. And on a lighter note, perhaps now is the right time to open a First Bank branch in Ovim, Abia State. Ovim sons and daughters will ensure the bank has adequate deposits to make this branch a profit-center.
