Managing director of Credit Direct Limited, Akinwande Ademosu, has won the Harvard Business School Association of Nigeria (HBSAN) leadership awards for General Management for lending over N150 billion to more than 1.5 million beneficiaries across Nigeria.
According to the company, the recognition is also for the company’s excellent service in the financial lending space. The awards was presented to Ademosu during the Harvard alumni Grand Ball held in Lagos.
