Nigeria’s Adeboye Isaac appointed Access Bank Congo MD

Access Bank Congo has appointed Adeboye Isaac as its new Country Managing Director, following regulatory approval from the Central Bank of the Congo.

Ayewamide succeeds Arinze Osuachala, who led the bank for eight years. In a press release, Access Bank said Osuachala’s tenure marked a shift for the institution, transforming it from a small franchise into a profitable and well-capitalised bank. During this period, the bank recorded steady balance sheet growth, strengthened its revenue base, and maintained capital levels above regulatory requirements.

Ayewamide brings over 18 years of banking experience across commercial banking, operations, risk management, customer experience, and technology transformation. He has held several leadership roles within the Access Bank Group, with a track record focused on execution and institutional growth.

He is an alumnus of Harvard Business School, Wharton, IMD, and Lagos Business School, and holds a Chartered MBA from Bangor University as well as an MBA in Finance from Obafemi Awolowo University.

Under the outgoing leadership, Access Bank Congo expanded its network from 2 to 22 locations nationwide and upgraded its core systems to improve operations and service delivery. The bank says these developments have positioned it ahead of its strategic milestones and provided a stable base for growth heading into 2026, setting the context for Ayewamide’s tenure.
