Celebrating the Visionary Leadership of Mr. Jimoh on His Redeployment as Director of Payment System Policy at the Central Bank of Nigeria

Great leaders are not defined solely by their positions but by the impact they create, the innovation they drive, and the legacy they leave in shaping institutions and society at large. Today, TEXEM, UK proudly celebrates one of its distinguished alumni, Mr. Jimoh, on his redeployment as the Director of Payment System Policy at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Mr. Jimoh’s remarkable career trajectory is a testament to his unwavering dedication, strategic foresight, and relentless commitment to national development. With a BSc in Computer Engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University, an MBA in Management Science from Enugu State University of Technology, he has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence and professional growth.

Throughout his career, Mr. Jimoh has held several influential leadership roles in FSB International Bank, First Bank of Nigeria, and ValuCard Nigeria Plc (a Visa Inc. Third-Party Processor), where he made invaluable contributions to the evolution of Nigeria’s financial technology and digital banking landscape. His expertise has been pivotal in advancing the nation’s payment system infrastructure and ensuring financial inclusion.

His journey at the Central Bank of Nigeria has been marked by strategic leadership and national impact. Having previously served as Deputy Director and then Director of Payment System Policy, he was later redeployed as Director of Capacity Development, where he played a crucial role in shaping talent development and enhancing institutional capability within the financial sector. His recent redeployment back to Director of Payment System Policy is a reflection of the CBN’s confidence in his ability to steer the nation’s payment system toward global competitiveness and long-term sustainability.

At TEXEM, we believe that exemplary leadership is about leveraging opportunities to drive transformational change. Mr. Jimoh’s career progression is not just a personal success story—it is a powerful call to all leaders to aspire toward greater impact, good governance, and sustainable nation-building. His current mandate—developing Nigeria’s payment system industry through effective policies, providing regulatory oversight, and ensuring financial stability—is a critical responsibility that will shape the future of Nigeria’s economy.

Dr. Alim Abubakre, the Founder of TEXEM, UK, aptly captures the essence of visionary leadership, stating:

“True leadership is about inspiring transformation, fostering innovation, and nurturing a legacy that transcends personal ambition. As a leader, your impact is measured not by the position you hold but by the value you create for your nation and the generations to come.”

Mr. Jimoh’s redeployment is a resounding affirmation of his dedication to excellence. As he takes on this strategic role once again, his work will pave the way for a more secure, efficient, and globally competitive financial ecosystem in Nigeria. In this era of rapid digital transformation, his leadership will be instrumental in fostering policies that enhance financial inclusion, economic growth, and national prosperity.

This milestone is not just an achievement for Mr. Jimoh but also an inspiration to every leader within the public and private sectors. It is a reminder that through dedication, continuous learning, and a commitment to excellence, we can all contribute meaningfully to building strong institutions and a prosperous nation.*

At TEXEM, we celebrate this visionary leader and remain committed to equipping executives with the strategic tools to navigate complexities, foster resilience, and drive sustainable development.

Congratulations, Mr. Jimoh! May your leadership usher in a new era of innovation, financial stability, and economic prosperity for Nigeria. The journey to greatness continues!
