Bisi Onasanya

Olabisi “Bisi” Stephen Onasanya (born August 18, 1961) is a former Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of First Bank of Nigeria Limited.

[1] He was before this appointment the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of First Pension Custodian, and began his career with Arthur Young, an American audit firm.

He grew up in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, where he attended St Paul’s Anglican Primary School (Mushin), Eko Boys High School (Mushin), and the then Lagos State College of Science and Technology.

Onasanya spent three years (October 2005 to December 2008) as Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of First Pension Custodian.

Incorporated by the First Bank Group in response to reforms to the Nigerian pension industry which saw the actuarial system move from a “defined benefit” to a “defined contribution" basis, Onasanya took First Pension Custodian from the application stage, through authorisation by the industry regulator.
