Oyeyimika Adeboye has been appointed as the new Managing Director of Cadbury Nigeria Plc, the first woman to clinch that position since its establishment over five decades ago.

The company made the announcement in corporate disclosure on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on Thursday.

Adeboye takes over from Amir Shamsi, who moves on to a new role within Mondelēz International, the parent company of Cadbury Nigeria.

Who is Oyeyimika Adeboye?

Oyeyimika Adeboye is a chartered accountant, who joined the Board of the Company in November 2008, as Finance and Strategy Director, West Africa.

According to Cadbury Nigeria Plc, Adeboye’s appointment attests to the Company’s commitment to promoting gender equality, diversity and inclusion.

Prior to joining Cadbury Nigeria, she was the Director of Finance and Chief Financial Officer of Nigerian Bottling Company Plc.

She previously worked for the erstwhile Accounting and Tax Practice of Arthur Andersen & Co as well as the United Kingdom Accounting practice of Midgley Snelling & Co., Chartered Accountants.

“Adeboye has an impressive track record in finance, strategy and business administration both in Nigeria and the United Kingdom,” the company said.

She is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Nigeria.

Adeboye has a Bachelor of Science honours degree in Economics and Social Studies from the University College Cardiff, Wales and executive management education certification from the Institute of Management Development (IMD), Lausanne, Switzerland.

The company also announced Ogaga Ologe to take over as new Finance Director, replacing Adeboye.

Ologe is the Company’s Financial Controller who joined Cadbury Nigeria in 2012, from KPMG Professional Services where he led the audit of the financial statements for many multinationals.

He holds a Bachelor of Science honours degree in Physics from Delta State University, Abraka. He is a qualified Chartered Accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Nigeria (ICAN).

The two new appointments take effect from April 1, 2019.

That is a point I will agree with 100%

The finance director studied physics in his first degree. Yet again, another example to illustrate that one's course of study cannot be an impediment to career goals.

It seems to be a CEO in most firms, one must be a chartered accountant or management consultant.

Your stupidity is international grade

No big surprise. Yorubas are known for excellence and brilliance

Many researchers had criticized conventional boards for promoting homosocial dominance ;an act of a same-sex relationship that has no romantic or sexual undertone. The corporate board are currently dominated mostly by male directors with little or no opportunity for female representation. Am happy the suggestions from researchers are now been implemented in business world. I hope Mrs Adeboye will be able to prove to many that having women in the board is beneficial to firms as they may introduce heterogeneous ideas and experiences instead of relying on homogenous ideas. Slay chicks and mamas you should be canvassing for this like your counterpart in Norway, France etc instead of pull her down syndrome

New wine in old skin, same cabal as ever, pretending to be like saints but deep inside they are beast, they should continue, God is watching all of you from Oyeyimika to all the Directors, senior managers and every of the management staff taking decision on behalf of Mondelez, thereby subjecting the entire junior staff and the third party contact staff to slaves in their own father's land, you all should remember that God purnishment no get CAIN when it comes, even if at all the entire management staff taking decision believe there is God. Most pretending to be Religious but inside them they are Devil's Incarnate. Wolves in Sheep's Clothing.
