Managing Director/CEO, GTCO Plc, Mr. Segun Agbaje
Unassuming in his mien but bold in his strides and effective in results, the Managing Director/CEO of Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO), Mr. Segun Agbaje is a man of substance and excellence. His approach to modern-day banking has proven to be an advantage to Nigeria’s foremost financial institution, GTCO Plc, TrekAfrica Newspaper can report.
Who would have thought that banks will go outside of their formal offices of commercial banking to delve into the informal streets of fashion, food, arts, entertainment, and culture until GTCO took the charge. Now, virtually every other bank is doing something outside the core of commercial banking which is feeding the bottomline of commercial banking. But GTCO has gone miles ahead, thanks to Mr. Segun Agbaje.
Under the leadership of Mr. Segun Agbaje, the Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO) started the GTCO Food and Drinks Festival, the GTCO Fashion Weekend, and the GTCO Autism Conference – all of which have become annual festivals attracting large audiences worldwide. These events have become central to the culture calendar globally. Lagos, as Nigeria’s culture capital and commercial nerve centre, also waits anxiously every year to receive her local and international guests who troop in for the events. What about the businesses such as the hotels, restaurants, car haling services among others which benefit tremendously during the period that these events hold.
This is forward thinking. Trek Africa Newspaper celebrate the ingenuity and dexterity of Mr. Segun Agbaje who is signposting Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO) PLC as a brand for all generations, sectors, and industries while also firming up the positive socioeconomic outlook of Nigeria before the international community.
