PwC Nigeria names four partners in latest leadership expansion

PwC Nigeria has admitted four new partners as part of a wider leadership expansion across Africa, with the appointments taking effect from July 1, as the professional services firm positions itself to support clients navigating a rapidly evolving business and regulatory environment.

The firm said the appointments form part of PwC Africa’s admission of 20 new partners across the region.
The new Nigerian partners are Adesola Abiodun in Advisory Services, Oluwadamilola Dada in Assurance Services, and Ugochi Ndebbio and Emeka Chime in Tax and Regulatory Services.

Sam Abu, Country Senior Partner at PwC Nigeria, said the appointments recognise years of exceptional performance and strengthen the firm’s capacity to advise businesses facing technological disruption, changing stakeholder expectations, and evolving regulatory demands.
“I am delighted to welcome four new partners to our partnership in Nigeria. Their admission recognises years of exceptional performance and marks their rise to the highest level of the profession,” Abu said.

“Over the years, they have supported our clients and helped shape our people and our firm. As businesses navigate a world of accelerating change, they need trusted advisers who can help them respond with confidence.”
He added that the new partners bring the leadership and expertise needed to help clients build trust, reinvent their businesses, and unlock new growth opportunities.

The appointments also align with PwC Africa’s diversity agenda, with women accounting for 55 percent of the firm’s 2026 partner admissions across the continent.

Abiodun joins the partnership from PwC Nigeria’s Deals Advisory practice, where he specialises in private capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, and sustainable finance. With nearly two decades of experience, he has led fundraising transactions worth more than $10 billion and previously worked at Infrastructure Credit Guarantee Company Limited and Vetiva Capital Management Limited.

Dada, who becomes a partner in the Assurance practice, has worked across Nigeria and the United States, advising organisations in the energy, utilities, and resources sectors on audit, financial reporting, internal controls, and risk management. She previously worked with PwC USA and served as chief of staff to the PwC Africa Assurance Leader.

Ndebbio joins the partnership in Tax and Regulatory Services, where she leads the firm’s Regulatory Business Solutions practice and heads its tax dispute resolution practice. A dual-qualified lawyer and accountant, she also serves as general counsel for PwC Nigeria, overseeing the firm’s legal governance and regulatory advisory services.

Chime, also appointed partner in Tax and Regulatory Services, has more than 16 years of experience advising local and multinational businesses on tax strategy, international tax, mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring, and regulatory compliance. He previously completed a three-year secondment with PwC in Houston, Texas.

The latest appointments come as professional services firms continue to expand advisory capabilities in response to growing demand for expertise in tax, regulatory compliance, capital raising, digital transformation, and corporate governance amid changing economic conditions.
