PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Mrs Arinola Ogbara-Banjoko as a Non-Executive Director representing Lagos State on the Board of the Nigeria Commodity Exchange under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment.
The appointment was announced in a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, on May 7, 2026.
According to the statement, Mrs Ogbara-Banjoko replaces Mrs Bamidele Hussein on the board of the exchange.
President Tinubu had earlier in April constituted the board of the Nigeria Commodity Exchange with Dalhatu Abubakar appointed as chairman alongside other non-executive directors.
The presidency stated that the President expects the new appointee to deploy her wealth of experience and professionalism toward strengthening the operations of the exchange.
The statement further noted that her appointment is expected to support the Federal Government’s drive to deepen commodity trading, expand market access for farmers and investors, and stimulate economic growth across the country.
