A former Minister of Finance and Board Chairman, Leadway Pensure PFA Limited, Mr Olusegun Aganga, has joined the board of directors of TechnoServe, a United States-based non-profit organisation with presence in over 30 countries.
According to the statement, the Co-Chairs of TechnoServe Board of Directors, Rachel Hines and Michael Bush, said, “We are delighted to welcome someone of Segun’s stature and reputation to our board of directors. Not only does he bring a wealth of experience and expertise in supporting economic development in Africa and beyond, but he also shares TechnoServe’s vision of a sustainable world where all people in low-income communities can prosper.”
While commenting on his appointment, the statement quoted Aganga as saying, “I am delighted to join the Board of Technoserve, whose vision of building a world committed to sustainable and progressive prosperity for low-income communities aligns with my ethos and convictions. Technoserve is rated number one globally in their sector where they deploy business solutions and private sector discipline to break the cycle of poverty.
“We must always remember that overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice, the protection of a fundamental human right to dignity and decent life. While poverty persists, there is no true freedom. All hands must be on the deck,” he said.
Aganga is a global expert in the finance and business community and an astute technocrat in blue-chip private sector corporates and the public sector both in the United Kingdom and Nigeria. He was previously a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs in London before going into the public sector.
He currently serves on a few boards including the advisory board of the Queens Commonwealth Trust in the United Kingdom and as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Leadway Pensure PFA Limited. He is also an industry advisor to Time Partners UK, and to governments and businesses in the United States, United Kingdom, and Nigeria.
