Ogunbiyi: Resourceful leader and entrepreneur
A FEW years ago, the captains of major Nigerian banks and a very wealthy audience including representatives of major embassies gathered at the Lagos Business School (LBS) to propose an urgent answer to a conundrum: "the Nigerian business insurance complete the countries financial loop? The guest speaker was Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi, who was then Group Managing Director of an insurance conglomerate, Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc, with substantial investments not only in insurance but also in banking, transportation, leasing, real estate as well as oil and petroleum exploration.Sales. Dr. Ogunbiyi did the subject justice and Nigerian banks quickly abandoned the “siddon- look" towards insurance. Banks have also gone ahead to set up insurance companies as subsidiaries. One analyst wrote that it was amazing that all Toyo cars t used for car rental services at all airports in Nigeria were funded by Ogunbiyi Insurance Company. Dr. Ogunbiyi is a very resourceful and daring entrepreneur who believes that "available resources should be used efficiently, wisely and resourcefully in order to improve life and general well-being".
He says, "I am totally committed to normative economics; that is, the implementation of models for sustainable outcomes using 'dormant' or latent human and material resources to generate growth and development" Dr. Ogunbiyi that standards for the betterment of the lives of citizens can be established and also prescribed. "Progress is determined by things that improve every day. In various countries and states, we need to be on the path to productivity and growth. Our value-added metrics must bounce back and scale to accelerate highly beneficial rewards and growth,” he adds. Dr. Ogunbiyi has pioneered laudable and flagship value-added macroeconomic activities in Nigeria, Liberia and Niger Republic. Liberia and Niger have particularly benefited from its sustained growth by delivering exploits.
He has admirably described himself as a tremendous game-changer, a proven entrepreneur who always achieves beneficial results. Business entrepreneurs are special people who see opportunity in all latent or slow service, poor products, and unmet needs. They have always put in years of hard and smart work to achieve lasting excellence. Dr. Ogunbiyi's ability and capacity were greatly enhanced by his insatiable thirst for education and laurels. He is an alumnus of Obafemi Awolowo University and the University of Lagos. He also attended the International Graduate School of Management, University of Navarre, Barcelona, Spain. He obtained the Global Executive Leadership Certificate from Yale School of Management and the Graduate Advanced Management Leadership Certificate from Saïd Business School, Oxford University, UK. Ogunbiyi is a personality brand icon. His distinguished professional and entrepreneurial trajectory is characterized and defined by the creation and delivery of value, humility, excellence and humanity.
A real son of Ileogbo, Aiyedire Local Government Area in Osun State, Dr Ogunbiyi said it was time to give back to his roots: "I looked very closely at the continued evolution of our cherished state since its inception in 1991. I have watched the various fortunes that have befallen the state in the hands of various business leaders and am seriously concerned at the unsatisfactory pace of the economic position of Osun State in the Nigerian Federation. Despite the enviable level of human development, our people are not enjoying the values of democratic governance. We are indeed very far from the dreams and aspirations of our founding fathers. Today, is Osun State working for its citizens? Let's check the measures. What are the strategic goals of the state against its objective realities? Where are the beneficial values provided by the government? Where are the jobs? ries despite rich and massive agricultural endowments? What do we do with our rich mineral resources? Where are the opportunities for our vibrant and dynamic young people? What is the condition of our school, health facilities, roads and other infrastructure? Is an overview in twelve years enough? Where are the support services that will generate growth? We were once the home of batiks, where are they now? Do we have provisions for the growth of our artists given Nollywood's high contribution to Nigeria's GDP? What are the plans for IT development or even internet facility availability? Do we have equity and justice in the creation and distribution of wealth? What about tourism? The government talks about future development plans after twelve (12) years. Are we voting to stay impoverished? Or are we ready to dispel illusions? Are we validating too little performance or no performance at all with our votes?
