PROFILE
Adebola Sofela is a seasoned professional
with a wealth of experience in financial services. He graduated with a B.Sc.
(Hons) in Accounting in 1986/87 from the University of Ilorin and got an MBA in
Finance from the University of Lagos in 1996. He qualified as a Chartered
Banker in 1988, a Chartered Accountant in 1989, and a Chartered Stock Broker in
2011. Adebola has completed courses at the prestigious Harvard Business School,
Wharton Business School and INSEAD. He is a fellow of the reputable Institute
of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, the Chartered Institute of Bankers of
Nigeria, The Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria and the Chartered
Institute of Stock Brokers. In the past, he also served on some of the
Committees of Council.
Adebola’s career is filled with 32 years of
post-graduate experience that spans banking, financial services, and
telecommunications. In addition, he has varied experience in the following
areas: domestic and treasury operations, financial planning and control,
internal audit, treasury services, corporate and project finance, investment
banking, risk management, regulatory compliance and tax planning, and regional
banking business and
relationship management. His regional banking
experience includes the retail, commercial, corporate and public sector.
Over the course of his extensive banking
career, he became adept with government accounts and accounting. He developed
strategic relationships with state and local governments, providing finance for
development projects and offering revenue collection services. He is also well
versed with the transition from IPSAS (International Public Sector Accounting
Standards) cash-based accounting to IPSAS accrual-based accounting, the
deployment of IPPIS (Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System), and
other governmental initiatives to improve efficiency and reduce the cost of
governance.
He worked in the banking industry up until
August 2011, rising up the ranks to Divisional Director and General Manager at
Equatorial Trust Bank Limited (Now Sterling Bank PLC). Afterwards, he
transitioned to the telecommunications industry as the Group Treasurer and
Director of the Executive Office at Globacom Limited. He held his position at
Globacom Limited until February 2018.
Adebola also served as the Managing
Director/CEO of Bridge Capital and Investments Limited. He was able to hone his
entrepreneurial drive in financial advisory services, stock broking, investment
management, tax advisory services and financial consulting. He committed his time
to regularly working with SMEs and as a result, became very acquainted with the
problems they encounter with Development Financial Institutions. He provided
tailored and customized solutions to these companies and assisted them with
overcoming the challenges of accessing financial assistance.
After an extensive career in the private
sector, Adebola is now utilizing his skills and making an impact in the public
sector. He is currently the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of
the Lagos State Number Plate Production Authority, the flagship state
corporation that produces vehicle number plates and aluminium based signage. He
has held this position since August 2019.
SENATORIAL AMBITION/VISION
Having served in the corporate world in various
capacities, coupled with my most recent exposure in the public service, it is
my desire and aspiration to serve my people by participating in politics and
governance.
After due consultations with strategic and all
stakeholders in our senatorial district, I have decided to seek for elective
position and to contest as SENATOR representing Ogun central in the senate (upper
chambers of the National Assembly)
It is my desire to offer fresh perspectives and
pragmatic representation that would bring unprecedented socio- economic development
to our senatorial district and our dear state as a whole.
I therefore, humbly seek for your prayers and
support in the pursuit of my aspiration and our collective good.
God bless Ogun central
senatorial district
God bless Ogun state
God bless Nigeria
Yours very sincerely,
Adebola Emmanuel Sofela
Senatorial Aspirant Ogun Central
