Clearly, these contributions to national development were what endeared Adeduntan to President Muhammadu Buhari who recently saluted him on his recognition by Cranfield University, UK, one of the most prestigious citadels of learning in Europe. Adeduntan will on Wednesday, June 22, be conferred with Doctor of Science, Honoris Causa and he would be delivering an address to the graduating class of the university. This feat, the president in a statement by his Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina, described as, \u201canother testament to the fact that Nigeria is blessed with the brightest and the best in all areas of human endeavor.\u201d Buhari lauded Adeduntan for being a role model to the younger generation, showing that hard work pays, and with resourcefulness and doggedness, great heights are achievable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44122 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FirstBank-image-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FirstBank-image-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FirstBank-image-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FirstBank-image-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FirstBank-image-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FirstBank-image-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FirstBank-image-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FirstBank-image-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FirstBank-image-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FirstBank-image-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Adeduntan\u00a0holds a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Ibadan, Master\u2019s in Business Administration from Cranfield University, and is Fellow of Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), as well as Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN).<\/p>\n<p>The president sent best wishes to Adeduntan and family as he hoisted Nigeria\u2019s flag proudly to receive an honor Cranfield University said was in recognition of his outstanding contribution to business.

He is a fellow of both the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN).<\/p>\n<p>Adeduntan\u2019s leadership drive also reflected in First Bank Nigeria Limited\u2019s recently released full year 2021 financial statement. The results clearly showed the strength and resilience of the iconic African elephant as well as the financial institution\u2019s leadership in the industry. The impressive results were a reflection of the robust strength and growth of the iconic African elephant, showing that the bank has taken its rightful position among the industry leaders.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, it showed the level of work the current board, management and staff of the bank have put in to turn the tide in the 128 years old institution with entrenched corporate governance.<\/p>\n<p>The full year 2021 performance by the bank represented a shift in the financial institution\u2019s performance trajectory and was made possible through its undeterred commitment in pursuing its transformational agenda; cutting across customer-led innovation, building a digitalised bank, culture change, reinventing the bank\u2019s workplace and safeguarding its assets for the digital age.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, FirstBank Group posted the best result in more than a decade history of the bank by crossing the N100 billion profit line. Specifically, in the full year 2021 financial statement, the FirstBank Group reported a 73.9 per cent growth in its profit after tax to N117.8 billion, as against the N67.8 billion recorded as of December 2020, just as its profit before tax stood at N130.9 billion, which was a significant rise by 77.9 per cent year-on-year, as against the N73.6 billion it was as of December 2020.<\/p>\n<p>FirstBank\u2019s gross earnings also increased by 30.3 per cent to N716.8 billion in 2021, up from N550.3 billion it was as of December 2020. Also, it recorded non-interest income of N342.2 billion in the year under review, which was 106.4 per cent higher than the N165.8 billion recorded as of December 2020. As a result of years of strategic restructuring of its balance sheet and operations, its gross earnings also moved northwards by 30.3 per cent, its total assets was up 15.9 per cent to N8.5 trillion as of the end of 2021, as against the N7.4 trillion recorded the previous year, just as its customer deposits also climbed by 19.5 per cent to N5.6 trillion, up from the N4.7 trillion recorded the previous year. The bank\u2019s customer loans and advances also improved by 28 per cent to N2.8 trillion in the year under review, up from N2.2 trillion the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>FirstBank has shown innovation, resilience and commitment to growth by significantly reducing its non-performing loans (NPL) from 25% in 2016 to an acceptable level of 6.1% in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>To demonstrate that the bank\u2019s performance in 2021 was not a fluke, the Bank equally performed excellently well in Q1 2022. FirstBank recorded 32% increase in gross earnings to N180bn in Q1\u201922 from N136.6bn in Q1\u201921. Profit after tax was up 108% to N32.4 billion (Q1\u201922) relative to N15.6 billion (Q1\u201921). This impressive performance is hinged on robust loan portfolio, effective cost structure and increased digital services.FirstBank recorded the highest decline in its cost-to-income ratio in Q1 2022, dropping from 79.5% recorded in Q1 2021 to 67.03% amongst tier-1 Banks in the review period.<\/p>\n<p>With FirstBank under Adeduntan, the safety of customers and the security of their transactions come first. This has ensured the bank keeps the trust of Nigerians gained over the many years of its enduring legacy of safety and security.<\/p>\n<p>The bank also delivers unique and bespoke financial services solutions across all customer segments underpinned by its commitment to innovation and the customer experience. It also leverages its strong investment banking capabilities to support clients in defining and executing innovative debt solutions as well as offer strategic advice at the highest level, arrange tailor-made financing structures, manage risk and ultimately help clients to realise their aspirations<\/p>\n<p>Since its establishment in 1894, FirstBank has consistently built relationships with customers focusing on the fundamentals of good corporate governance, strong liquidity, optimised risk management and leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the bank has led the financing of private investment in infrastructure development in the Nigerian economy by playing key roles in the federal government\u2019s privatisation and commercialisation schemes. With its global reach, FirstBank provides prospective investors wishing to explore the vast business opportunities that are available in Nigeria, an internationally competitive world-class brand and a credible financial partner. It is expected that the leadership excellence and recognitions accorded to Adeduntan would continue to reflect positively on the FirstBank brand and fundamentals of the bank so that the elephant will continue to stand \u2018gidigba.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><i>Culled from ThisDay<\/i><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since his appointment as MD\/CEO of First Bank of Nigeria Limited in 2016, Dr. Adesola Adeduntan has completely transformed the financial institution and has made it attractive to every strata of the society.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":39377,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,65],"tags":[9717,1652],"coauthors":[2391],"class_list":["post-61673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-business","category-feature","tag-adesola-adedutan","tag-firstbank"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 -
