EABN appoints Courteville’s Akindele to its board

The Managing Director, Courteville Business Solutions, Mr.
Bola Akindele, has been appointed to join the board of
advisors of the East Africa Business Network (EABN).
EABN was established in 2010 in United Kingdom to
encourage investment, entrepreneurship and to advise multi-
nationals on new and established markets in East Africa.
This is coming on the heels of his appointment as one of the
international advisory board of Enterprises and Parliamentary
Dialogue International (EPDI).
EPDI, which was conceived by a group of Chief Executive
Officers (CEO’s) of leading international companies nearly forty
years ago and principally focused on the establishment of
transparent bridges of understanding between
parliamentarians and business people through the creation of
dialogue centers in developing democracies and thereby
effectively playing a role in strengthening democracy, national
economy and risk management.
EABN Director, Ms. Aurelia Anyika, said it was an honour that
Mr. Akindele can join the Advisory board. She described him
as one of the growing Pan Africa business leaders shaping the
continent.
She said, “The last decade has seen a new wave of Nigeria’s
Investment in Africa and East Africa’s and this is certainly
very attractive to Nigeria’s wealth. For example, Aliko
Dangote signed a deal to build $400 million dollar cement
plant in Kenya in 2013, thereby creating thousands of jobs.
Nigerians are no longer attracted to property portfolios in New
York, Paris or London, they are seeing higher returns in their
investment right in their doorstep”.
Mr. Akindele has extensive banking and audit experience
spanning over 20 years across various banking institutions
with strong leadership, strategic thinking and networking
skills.
He has led Courteville Business Solutions, an E-Business
Solutions development firm since its inception in 2005. The
company is focused on process re-engineering in both the
private and public sector by providing cutting edge solutions
to complex operational challenges, through the development
and delivery of unique business solution models, revenue
stream improvement and cost management processes.
Through his leadership, Courteville opened its East Africa
headquarters in Nairobi last year and looks forward to
providing solutions in the region’s education and logistics
sector.
Courtevilles’s AutoReg franchise is currently in use in over 22
states in the country and would hopefully expand its reach.
