Baba Akiolu was kind enough to lend me a copy of Ovia’s Africa: Rise and Shine. His former colleague on the board of Zenith Bank, Godwin Emefiele, is now the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN. Udom Gabriel Emmanuel, the governor of Akwa Ibom State, was an executive director with Zenith Bank. With his book, Ovia has challenged his other colleagues to tell their own stories. At the time when Adeola and his colleagues were trying to obtain a licence for the bank, Sanusi was the Deputy-Governor of the CBN.
