MCB appoints Abiodun Azeez as its Chief Representative Officer in Nigeria

MCB is pleased to announce the appointment of Abiodun Azeez as our new Representative Officer in Nigeria. With a wealth of experience in the banking sector and a deep understanding of the African market, Abiodun Azeez is set to strengthen MCB's presence in Nigeria and enhance our engagement with the Nigerian corporate sector. MCB is confident that its new Chief Representative Officer's extensive experience and strategic vision will contribute to our mission of connecting Africa with MENA and support the growth of the Nigerian economy.

Background and Motivation

Prior to joining MCB in 2021, our new Chief Representative Officer headed Africa coverage for a Middle East Bank, facilitating trade flows and raising capital into Africa. Recognizing the significant knowledge gap and the need for a reliable partner in Africa, Abiodun saw MCB's establishment of the Dubai Office as the perfect platform to engage with Middle East and North Africa (MENA) players interested in Africa. His experience in the Dubai Advisory Office, which aimed at connecting Africa with MENA, has equipped them with valuable knowledge about the sectors of interest in Nigeria for MENA corporates.
