Leadership changes support regional growth plan
As reported by Businessday, Access Bank has promoted Kumapayi to Deputy Managing Director, African Subsidiaries, and appointed Bamisebi as Executive Director as part of an executive restructuring.The bank says the changes are designed to improve earnings across Africa and sharpen digital efficiency within its operations. The appointments also signal a broader effort to reinforce its footprint in multiple African markets while aligning management responsibilities with growth priorities.
Operational focus shifts to scale and efficiency
Kumapayi and Bamisebi take on the new roles with experience the bank is positioning behind its next phase of expansion. Their appointments are intended to support execution of strategy across the continent, where stronger regional coordination and technology-led efficiency remain central to performance.For Access Bank, the restructuring points to a management approach that links leadership changes directly to revenue growth and operational optimisation. In Nigeria's banking sector, that emphasis reflects continued competition to scale digital platforms, improve cost efficiency and deepen cross-border business.
In our earlier article on how AI is raising the cost of standing still for companies, we explained that rapid adoption is lifting competitive standards and making “average” performance increasingly unsustainable in Nigeria and beyond. We noted that firms need to rethink investment priorities, workforce skills, and decision-making, as those that use AI for productivity and automation can improve efficiency and strengthen market position while laggards risk losing relevance.
