President Bola Tinubu has appointed Arinola Ogbara-Banjoko as a Non-Executive Director on the board of the Nigeria Commodity Exchange under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment.
Her appointment was announced in a statement released by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Ogbara-Banjoko will represent Lagos State on the board and takes over from Bamidele Hussein.
The President had earlier, in April 2026, approved the constitution of the board of the Nigeria Commodity Exchange. The board is headed by Dalhatu Abubakar as chairman alongside other non-executive directors.
According to the statement, the Federal Government expects the new board member to use her experience and professional background to support the activities of the exchange and improve its operations.
The government also said her appointment will help efforts aimed at improving commodity trading across the country, creating better market opportunities for farmers and investors, and supporting economic growth.
