The new executive management of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) on Thursday paid a courtesy visit to the minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Wale Edun, in Abuja.
The delegation which visited Mr Edun included the managing director/chief executive officer of AMCON, Gbenga Alade; executive director of resolution/enforcement at AMCON, Adeshola Lamidi; and AMCON’s executive director of operations, Lucky Adaghe.
In February, President Bola Tinubu appointed a fresh leadership cadre for AMCON, subject to confirmation by the Nigerian Senate.
According to a statement by the president’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the newly appointed team includes Alade as MD/CEO, and Lamidi, Adaghe, and Aminu Ismail as executive directors.

“The President expects unflagging dedication, professionalism, and dutifulness from the new appointees to ensure that the operations of AMCON are more efficient, transparent, and in consonance with his determination to sanitize the nation’s financial system to maximize value and enhance investor confidence in the Nigerian economy,” the statement said.
The presidential spokesperson stated that Tinubu anticipates unwavering commitment, expertise, and responsibility from the newly appointed officials to enhance the efficacy and transparency of AMCON’s activities.
This aligns with the government’s resolve to cleanse the country’s financial landscape to optimise value.
AMCON came into existence on July 19, 2010, following the enactment of the AMCON Act.
