President Bola Tinubu on Friday approved the selection of Uzoma Nwagba as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation.
Nwagba’s appointment is in line with his focused work to guarantee financial inclusion and economic success for most Nigerians, as stated by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement he endorsed on Friday.
The statement is titled, ‘President Tinubu appoints Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation.’
Nwagba, 36, earned a Master’s of Business Administration from the Harvard Business School and a first-class Bachelor’s of Engineering from Howard University, Washington DC.
Before his appointment, he worked as Chief Operating Officer of the Bank of Industry, responsible for leading micro-credit and other financial interventions at the institution.

Nwagba was a Software Engineer at Microsoft, where he led multiple teams tasked with building enterprise and mobile software for emerging markets (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and Nigeria), before entering the finance sector.
Ngelale stated that the President anticipates the new CEO of this crucial agency to apply his extensive background in finance and technology, and his history of driving financial interventions across Nigeria in this new position to widen access to credit for all classes of Nigerian citizens while promoting financial inclusion, and improving the standard of living of the Nigerian people as they access the benefits of prosperity.
