Benedict Oramah
Prof. Benedict Oramah is the President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), where he has played a pivotal role in driving trade and development financing across Africa. Under his leadership, Nigeria has emerged as the largest beneficiary of the bank's funding, receiving approximately $52 billion in cumulative disbursements. Oramah has been instrumental in facilitating key initiatives aimed at industrializing African economies and enhancing intra-African trade, including significant investments in Nigeria's healthcare, energy, and creative sectors. He is set to step down after over three decades of service, including a decade as president, and has been a strong advocate for Nigeria's role in shaping Afreximbank's future.
