Mosunmola Belo-Olusoga epitomises the finest of Nigeria’s league of extraordinary leading ladies. The Chairman of Access Bank Plc is an accomplished professional whose exploits in the finance industry cannot be overemphasised. Her unparalleled exploits in the finance sector has led to her steady ascent of the corporate ladder in an industry erstwhile dominated by men. Since she assumed the headship of the board of such A-list bank after the tenure of top corporate lawyer and investor, Gbenga Oyebode, she has shown nothing but brilliance with the bank doing pretty well.
In spite of her status, Belo-Olusoga remains cultured and unassuming. She’s never fixated with material pursuits and other worldly vanities. She opts for warm colours and styles that complement her complexion. However, if there is one fashion accessories that obviously fascinates her, they are leg chains. The alpha woman has always been seen sporting various anklets on her right leg.
A devout Muslim, the Ijebu-Ode-born woman is a widow. She lost her husband 13 years ago and has ever since carried herself with dignity. When she retired from GT Bank Plc, she founded an Ivy-league school, City of Knowledge Academy, Ijebu Ode. She gives more attention to the school that has boasted of achieving more in the educational sector. Belo-Olusoga is an Economics graduate of the University of Ibadan, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and an alumnus of Harvard Business School, USA.
