​An Fireside Chat with  Dr. Olusola Adeeyo

​For this fireside chat, we open it up to the ecosystem. This week, we have Mr. Olusola Adeeyo

​During this chat Iyinoluwa Aboyeji will be speaking to Mr. Olusola Adeeyo, whose remarkable journey in entrepreneurship in Nigeria over the last forty years offers valuable insights for building in and for Nigeria. 

​Mr. Adeeyo has been a personal mentor to Iyinoluwa and they often have conversations about the past and the future of the country. When Mr. Adeeyo started a bank with his friends in 1991, interest rates were very high, inflation was significant, the government was laden with debt from the SAP era and the currency experienced substantial devaluation within the first few years of him starting the bank

​In our chat Mr Adeeyo will talk about building something valuable and long lasting  through tough times on the foundation of integrity and hard work.
