One of the greatest legacies that General Ibrahim Babangida dreamt of and bequeathed to Nigerians is the unbundling of the banking sector to allow young, savvy and knowledgeable Nigerians a foothold into the banking sector.
Yet this post is not about the pioneers of that age of modern banking, blending with cutting edge technology like Zenith Bank founder, Jim Ovia, Atedo Peterside, Tony Elumelu and the rest of the legends who have raised worthy successors and newer leaders, but about the shapers of this age and time.
They would most likely shape and influence Nigeria in 2024.
See their capitalization and how it has blossomed from humble beginnings to newer heights:
