A Tribute to Mrs. Iyabo Soji-Okusanya on Her Birthday

Dear Mrs. Soji-Okusanya,  

Today marks not just another day on the calendar but a momentous occasion to celebrate a woman of excellence, grace, and unmatched professional integrity. On behalf of myself, Dr. Ohio O. Ojeagbase, FICA, FIDR, Founding Partner at KREENO Debt Recovery & Private Investigation Agency and the entire KREENO HOLDINGS LLC, I take immense pleasure in honoring you on your birthday.  

Your journey over the years has been nothing short of inspiring, embodying what it means to lead with purpose, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to making a difference in your field. With over three decades of exceptional service in corporate and commercial banking, accounting, and human capital development, you have established yourself as a beacon of excellence in Nigeria’s financial industry and beyond.  

Your stellar career with Access Bank PLC, which has lasted more than 25 years, is a testament to a woman who not only changed with the times but also helped to influence the financial industry. You have led revolutionary projects, launched ground-breaking products, and improved tactics that have helped Access Bank become one of Africa's top financial institutions thanks to your extensive institutional understanding and creative thinking. Once again, congratulations on receiving THE CEO AWARD for the Longest Serving Employee at Access Bank PLC. You have been with the company for almost 30 years, demonstrating your dedication to sticking with ONE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION rather than moving from banks to banks like many others do in order to advance in their careers.

Your Educational and Professional Foundations

Your academic achievements are a reflection of your steadfast dedication to knowledge and excellence. Earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting from the University of Ilorin set the stage for your professional journey. But you didn’t stop there. Your status as a Fellow of both the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (FCA) and the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (FCIB) further highlights your determination to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethical practice.  

Moreover, your pursuit of continuous learning through prestigious programs at globally renowned institutions such as Harvard Business School, IMD in Lausanne, and INSEAD in Fontainebleau, underscores your desire not just to lead but to lead effectively. These experiences have enriched your ability to provide visionary guidance and have significantly contributed to the growth and development of teams and individuals under your mentorship.  

Trailblazing Leadership in Access Bank

Your ascent to the role of Executive Director of Access Bank PLC's Corporate and Investment Banking Division is more than just a professional achievement; it is evidence of your unwavering drive for success and your profound comprehension of the intricacies of corporate and investment banking. In order to ensure sustainable growth and development, you have been at the forefront of measures that have closed gaps between enterprises and their financial demands.

Being a high achiever involves more than just achieving personal achievement; it also involves motivating others, as your leadership has shown. Numerous professionals who want to pursue careers similar to yours have looked up to you as a mentor and role model. Your ability to balance strategy with compassion is a rare trait that sets you apart and makes you not just a leader but a visionary.  

An Inspiration Beyond the Boardroom

Whilst your professional accolades are impressive, what truly makes you remarkable is the way you inspire those around you. Your colleagues, mentees, and even industry peers speak of your integrity, grace, and unwavering sense of responsibility. You exemplify what it means to be a woman of substance—a leader who not only excels in her career but also remains grounded in values that promote fairness, equity, and justice.  

Your role as a champion of human capital development is particularly noteworthy. By investing in the growth and well-being of others, you are laying a foundation for a brighter future, not just for individuals but for organizations and the larger financial ecosystem. Your passion for nurturing talent and creating opportunities is a legacy that will endure long after you have stepped out of the boardroom.  You are a strong part of Women in Business (WimBiz) and many others.

Our beliefs at KREENO Debt Recovery & Private Investigation Agency include integrity, justice, and fairness—values that are very similar to your own. For those of us striving to rethink norms and establish new benchmarks in our individual businesses, your leadership in the financial sector acts as a beacon of hope.

Your influence extends far beyond the confines of the boardroom, touching lives and inspiring greatness in ways that words alone cannot capture. You also love the Lord God Almighty who indeed is been the anchor of your soul and all that inspires you to keep liberating more lives by your mentorship roles you have playing to your surbordinate regardless of their gender and background whihc makes you a mento for next generation bankers.
