Ifie sekibo biography of alberta

The banking industry in Nigeria has a rich history. This history is also replete with trials and triumphs. One of the first things he did to make Heritage Bank stand out was to sit with a former bank owner and discussed why his bank failed. From their discussion, he learnt many lessons which came in handy in running Heritage Bank and making it a force to reckon with despite its background as a bank that was moribund for no less than a decade.

From zero he has made a hero of the bank. He has pieced carcasses together and what has emerged is an institution with a future not only bright but worth waiting for. This is assured by its innovations that are almost second to none in the industry. His rich educational background sure provides the block for what he has built.

A firm believer in training and retraining, Dr Sekibo is always eager to learn more and as such he regularly attends international seminars, workshops and courses in banking, insurance, marketing, and finance among others. By the time left there for Rims Merchant Bank Limited in , his assured rise was no longer in doubt. It was after garnering all these experiences that he led a team of brilliant professionals to wake up Societe Generale Bank after years of being in a coma.

Ifie Sekibo; Dep. Director, Enterprise Development Centre, Mrs Nneka Alberta and a Master's degree in Journalism.

The team turned it into an innovative commercial bank with a regional outlook and it also marked the beginning of his Heritage Banking Company Limited journey. But an issue the bank glossed over in its acquisition of Enterprise Bank almost dealt it a fatal blow. After acquiring Enterprise Bank, it discovered it had so many litigations against it in courts.

The resolution of this not only made it bigger, but it also made it better and stronger. With its tapestry of unparalleled services, the awards have kept rolling in.
