President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Mrs Arinola Ogbara-Banjoko as the Non-Executive Director representing Lagos State on the Board of the Nigeria Commodity Exchange (NCX), reinforcing efforts to reposition the nation’s commodity market for economic growth.
Ogbara-Banjoko takes over from Mrs Bamidele Hussein on the board of the Exchange under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment.
The appointment comes weeks after President Tinubu inaugurated the board in April, naming Dalhatu Abubakar as chairman alongside other non-executive directors.
In a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga and made available The News Chronicle the President said the new appointee is expected to bring her wealth of experience and professionalism to strengthen the Exchange’s operations.
The Presidency noted that the move is part of the administration’s broader push to deepen commodity trading, expand market access for farmers and investors, and drive economic growth across the country.
