A STAKEHOLDER, Raheem Ajayi, has expressed optimism about the new leadership of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), in the person of Gbenga Alade, who was recently appointed by President Bola Tinubu.
Alade is expected to deploy his wealth of experience in the recovery of debts.
Ajayi, who is also a public commentator, added that the Tinubu-led government is committed to the idea of fixing round pegs in round holes in the overriding interest of the country.
Ajayi said, “Without a doubt, Alade’s verifiable record of excellent performance in the financial sector offers a fresh breath of air at AMCON.
“A first-class graduate of the University of Lagos and a master’s degree holder from the same university with an enviable career in the banking sector, the new AMCON helmsman is a perfect choice at this crucial moment of economic downturn when quality and efficient service is expected from a highly motivated workforce and purposeful leadership across the public sector.
“Alade is a thoroughbred professional with an uncommon zeal for excellence and determination.”
According to him, AMCON under the new leadership is expected to change the narrative of recurring debt evasion debtors and penchant for dubious technicalities to frustrate asset recovery.
He said the new AMCON has the requisite experience and the know-how to make AMCON become an accelerated debt recovery corporation considering his track record.
“There’s no doubt the President has made a good choice with the appointment of a new head of AMCON. There is a high expectation that Alade would use his wealth of experience to engage with stakeholders across the board in delivering on the crucial task of debt and asset recovery.”
