Impressive. Two years in a row now since he was the 2012 winner as well. Before him, James Mwangi of Kenya had also been a 2-year banker of the year back-to-back winner for 2010 and 2011.

Posted by: Collins Nweze in Money 6 hours ago



The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, Segun Agbaje has been announced the 2013 Banker of the Year – Africa by the World Finance Banking Awards.
In a statement, the bank said the World Finance Banker of the Year – Africa Award is conferred on outstanding bankers who have achieved the most with regards to innovation, profitability and sustainability of their organisation.
It said the award also takes into recognition an individual that has been an influential and inspirational leader, has overseen strong financial performance for his organisation and has successfully guided his institution to new heights in its industry.
According to World Finance, Segun Agbaje has won the coveted “Banker of the Year – Africa 2013”. It said the category was one of the most sought after categories in the 2013 Banking Awards, adding that someone has to win and the judging panel confirmed that Mr. Agbaje is at the vanguard of African Banking and has earned the reputation and recognition as a truly accomplished and highly respected Banker, locally and internationally.
It said his commitment to leading an efficient institution has ensured that GTBank maintains higher margins and the lowest cost to income ratio amongst its peers, despite a relatively smaller branch network when compared to its peers in the country.

Congrats bros Segz.

wow! A young, vibrant, futuristic and innovative business mogul. He learnt alot from the co-founder, Fola Adeola.

Congrats to the very intelligent man!

He was a bit reluctant to enter into the huge shoes left behind by Bros Fola Adeola...but we all can see that the decision to make him the head was a master stroke ....

Congrats....

Congrats! He deserves it!
But this is supposed to be in business section not politics

This is very good, he has done Nigeria proud.

This Boy was my junior back in my secondary school days.

Congrats my Boy. Don't forget to come pay homage to your Master...

Prof. Ogogoro:

Congrats my Boy. Don't forget to come pay homage to your Master...

he's my younger brother

iterator25: he's my younger brother

Nice to meet you...

Not surprising at all.

GTBank has distinguished itself in the Nigerian banking sector and Agbaje has also leveraged on a solid foundation set by the likes of Fola Adeola and Tayo Aderinokun (RIP).

I have no doubt that this is only the second of more awards to come in the future.

Congratulations.

Ehnn tel me sontin ETT

Good to know.
Congratulation uncle Sege

Congrant Egbon mi, hope to join you soon in Lagos. Oya less go theirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Phemy95: Read this touching story>>>> A guy graduated with a good grade from the university. He studied Marine Science and was given a good job by an oil company. Few days to resumption of the work, he went to a swimming pool and there he drowned. May devil never waste our lives after toiling a lot and every point he is waiting to get us, he would never succeed. Type AMEN. Like this page www.facebook.com/nichenaija and type your AMEN. Try it

Rubbish.!

shoot@sight:

i tot as much how his unrelevant issue relate with bank of the year.

This is what a Nigerian man can do but we disvalue him,if it were to be europe and usa he should stand as a finance minister or CBN governor in few years but politics would always make the system dead.

Ayekotoo: wow! A young, vibrant, futuristic and innovative business mogul. He learnt alot from the co-founder, Fola Adeola.

Misuse of word, how is Segun a business mogul? Maybe a business executive, but definitely not a mogul!

iterator25: he's my younger brother

he is my neighbour here in banana iceland.

Congrats to him.
BTW, why is everyone forming familiarity? Nigerians sha.. Success sure has many relatives.

geeez: Congrats boss

I know you're all about results and its not unexpected

When Tayo won the same award, everyone in GTBank had his picture on their DPs. Now I'm looking at the DPs of my friends there and none has put it up yet

I have over 80 of them across all levels starting from BO and up on my blackberry btw

That may not be unconnected with the fact that Tayo (Uncle T) was a people's person (even in death) and Segun is only preoccupied with making money, even at the expense of those getting the work done. I'll be surprised if I see loads of people putting Segun's picture up on their DP, save for only an insignificant few (insignificant in terms of number). Tayo was a hero, Segun is just another CEO, FACT!

Lilaex: And How dose dis affect ASUU stryke?
Rubbish.!

If you don't like the headline, don't read it!!! And certainly don't comment!!!

Congrats Sir
