The appointment was announced in a statement released on Thursday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, Ogbara-Banjoko will serve as the representative of Lagos State on the NCX board. She takes over from Bamidele Hussein, who previously occupied the position.

The Presidency said the newly appointed board member is expected to use her professional experience and leadership skills to help improve the activities and performance of the Exchange.
Tinubu also encouraged her to support the government’s plans to strengthen commodity trading across the country, improve opportunities for farmers and investors, and contribute to economic development.
The statement added that the administration remains committed to expanding access to agricultural markets and creating a more efficient trading system that will benefit businesses and stakeholders in the sector.
