Nigerian fintech boosts operations with new appointments

PRYME has appointed Mrs. Ronke Sokefun as the newly appointed board chairman and the addition of Funmi Augusto to the board.

Pryme in a statement said their combined expertise will be instrumental in formulating the strategic direction required to achieve its goal of becoming the preferred financial service provider for every young African and the world at large.

Augusto started his career at Arthur Andersen ( now KPMG Professional Services), where he spent over eight years working in the audit and business advisory units. In 1992, he left Arthur Andersen to co- found IBFC Limited, which later in 1999 merged with the business consulting department of Agusto & Co. Limited to form Alliance Consulting.

With over 30 years of experience in financial analysis, stock market analysis, asset and liability management, country risk analysis, credit analysis/ risk management and investment analysis/ appraisal “we are more than happy to welcome Mr. Funmi Augusto to the board,” the firm stated.

On her part, Sokefun graduated with LLB ( Hons.) in 1987 and was called to the Nigerian Bar ( also with honors) in November 1988. She has had a sterling career spanning over three decades, cutting across different sectors of the economy.

Sokefun’s work experience spans over 30 years across the private and public sectors, some of which include, but are not limited to, serving as the immediate past board chairman of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (‘ NDIC’), currently a board member at Oando PLC, which is one of Africa’s leading energy solutions providers.
