LEADWAY Pensure has appointed Mr Olusakin Labeodan  its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with effect from June 1.

The  Pension Fund  Administrator (PFA) announced this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.

The PFA said that the appointment followed the retirement of Mr Lanre Idris, its former CEO, who worked with the company for over 18 years in various top management positions.

It quoted  Idris as saying that his successor had been  a dynamic leader with a proven ability to steer organisations toward success.

 “Having served together for several years, I have witnessed his strategic insight and deep understanding of our industry.

“He is the quintessential talent to lead Leadway Pensure into its next phase of growth and development,” the PFA quoted Idris as saying.

It also quoted Labeodan as saying that he was deeply honoured to assume the role of the CEO at the company.

“With our resilient team, I am confident that we will overcome today’s macroeconomic dynamics and seize opportunities  to further deepen Leadway Pensure’s position in the market.

“I look forward to working closely with our dedicated staff and valued stakeholders,” it quoted the new CEO as saying.
