Access Holdings Plc says Chizoma Okoli will retire as deputy managing director of its Access Bank Plc subsidiary on April 30, 2026, bringing her tenure at the lender to a close. The disclosure was filed with the Nigerian Exchange Limited.
Okoli joined Access Bank in March 2019 as an Executive Director and was elevated in March 2022 to Deputy Managing Director, Retail South. Since then, she has held senior leadership roles across the bank’s retail banking operations and helped expand its retail footprint.
Her work centered on growing the bank’s customer base and strengthening offerings for small and medium-sized enterprises across Access Bank’s operating markets. The group said her leadership helped scale retail banking operations and reinforce the bank’s position in key market segments.
The board expressed appreciation for her service and said she played an important role in advancing the bank’s retail strategy and business development initiatives. Access Holdings said it wished her success in her future endeavours, as the retirement date gives the lender time to manage a planned transition rather than a sudden departure.
