President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Mrs Arinola Ogbara-Banjoko as a Non-Executive Director representing Lagos State on the Board of the Nigeria Commodity Exchange (NGX), under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment.

She replaces Mrs Bamidele Hussein on the board.

The President had earlier in April reconstituted the board of the Exchange, appointing Dalhatu Abubakar as Chairman alongside other Non-Executive Directors.

According to the Presidency, the appointment is aimed at strengthening the operations of the Exchange and advancing the Federal Government’s drive to deepen commodity trading, expand market access for farmers and investors, and stimulate economic growth.

Mrs Ogbara-Banjoko is expected to bring her experience and professionalism to support the mandate of the Exchange and enhance its overall performance.
