Lagos Commissioner Quits To Join First-Bank by free2ryhme: 5:37am On Jul 30, 2013
Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola yesterday accepted the resignation of his Commissioner for Finance, Mr Tokunboh Abiru. He commended him for rendering meritorious service to the State. He spoke at the State Executive Council meeting.

Fashola announced that the Commissioner was leaving to take up an appointment as Executive Director of First Bank of Nigeria Plc and a Board member of FBN Holdings Plc. He said he gave commendable service to the state within his short but impactful stay in office.

Abiru, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and professional banker joined the State’s public service from the First Bank of Nigeria Plc where he has had over two decades of a successful career, serving variously as Group Head Corporate Banking and Business Development Manager among others.

Abiru’s appointment with the bank will take effect from August 1.

not like that man!

The man is wise, leaving the banking job to quickly chop the money in politics and running back to the banking job to secure his future cos he knows after 2015, there may be nothing like political assignment for him.

You fail to see that unlike some of you, some people actually love their career more than the prospects of politics

The man is smart, he has opted for a more stable job. Fashola can wake up one day and decides to change his cabinet.

Tokunboh is a smart guy.
He has always being an heir apparent of sorts at FBN. Rose very fast in his banking career, then jumped ship into a political career, and probably learning from what happened to Remi Babalola that also left to join fed ministry of finance, he has beat a fast retreat into his familiar terrain.
Who knows, dude may have a shot at the GMD seat one day.
