Institute of Management Consultants Nigeria names Samuel Olatunde as Fellow
Oladipo Akinremi, Executive Director and Chief Operations Officer at Sky Bank Sierra Leone, has been named a Fellow by the Institute of Management Consultants Nigeria.
The Fellow designation is a prestigious professional fellowship awarded by the International Council of Management Consulting Institutes (ICMCI), a globally recognised body with consultative status at the United Nations. In Nigeria, the local chapter of ICMCI – the Institute of Management Consultants Nigeria – is authorised to confer the designation.
Akinremi, an economist with a Master’s degree in Managerial Psychology, is a Certified Management Consultant (CMC) and a Certified Management Specialist (CMS). He has over 20 years of banking experience across West Africa, during his career demonstrating financial expertise with people-centred leadership to drive operational excellence and sustainable growth.
“This honour reflects Oladipo’s exceptional contributions to banking and consultancy,” stated the Institute of Management Consultants Nigeria. “His leadership aligns with our core values of professionalism, innovation, and ethical excellence. His commitment to strengthening financial systems, fostering international collaboration, and advancing professional consultancy across the African continent exemplifies the standard of excellence we seek to recognise and promote.”
At a recent meeting on cross-border payments and global banking partnerships in London, Akinremi emphasised the role of technology, including artificial intelligence, in reshaping both banking and management consulting. He advocated for greater digital integration to streamline international financial flows, particularly between Africa and global markets, positioning banks and consultants as critical partners in today’s rapidly evolving financial ecosystem.
Earlier this year, the Institute of Management Consultants Nigeria also named Misan Bolorunfe a Fellow. She currently works for Bain & Company and previously spent two years at Strategy&.
