The Board of Odu’a Investment Company Limited has appointed Abiodun Bamiduro as an Executive Director and Group Chief Financial Officer.
Bamiduro, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, was promoted from within the organisation, having served as the Group’s Financial Controller since 2021.
During his tenure as Financial Controller, he made significant contributions to the company, including chairing the implementation of a cost-saving, group-wide enterprise resource planning system and establishing a robust internal financial control framework.
Commenting on the appointment, Chairman of Odu’a Investment Company Limited, Otunba Bimbo Ashiru, described Bamiduro as a strategic business leader with a deep understanding of the company’s vision. He said Bamiduro’s leadership in strengthening financial governance and driving operational efficiency gave the Board confidence that his elevation would provide the strategic direction required for the company’s next phase of growth and value creation for shareholders.
Before joining Odu’a Investment, Bamiduro spent more than two decades in the energy sector, including a distinguished 15-year career with Transocean, a global leader in offshore drilling. He rose to the position of Finance Manager for Nigeria and Africa Remote Operations, becoming the first Nigerian and African to assume full financial responsibility for one of the company’s largest operational regions.
His professional expertise spans financial control, treasury, tax management, and complex financial integrations. He also serves as a Non-Executive Director on the boards of some Odu’a Investment subsidiaries, including Lagos Airport Hotel Limited.
