Ogochukwu Ekezie-Ekaidem, Chief Brand and Marketing Officer at Union Bank has been selected to represent the financial institution on the board, bringing the number of JA Nigeria board members to 12.

The impact of Junior Achievement in Nigeria cannot be quantified, thanks to organizations and individuals that sit on our Board and provide strategic support to our activities.
