32 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 2017 appointments & management ILO links job creation to conflict prevention Ife Ogunfuwa The International Labour Organisation says the creation of decent jobs for young people will help to prevent conflict, encourage reconstruction, and build resilience in fragile situations. The Director-General, ILO, Guy Ryder, stated that about two billion people were living in countries affected by conflict, violence and fragile situations, pointing out that young women and men in these countries were at risk of abandoning school, training and dropping out of the labour market. He noted that generally, the most marginalised and disadvantaged youths usually Ife Ogunfuwa First Bank of Nigeria Limited has appointed Mr. Tosin Adewuyi as a group executive of the bank and an executive director of its flagship subsidiary, FBNBank United Kingdom Limited. The Group Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications, First Bank, Folake Ani-Mumuney, in a statement on Tuesday, said the appointment was subject to regulatory approvals in Nigeria and the UK. According to the statement, Adewuyi holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Accounting from University of Manchester, UK, and is a fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. The statement explained that the appointment of Adewuyi was consistent with First Bank’s strong corporate governance credentials and best practice, which ensures that there is balance of knowledge, judgment and experience at the highest decision making levels of the bank and its subsidiaries. The statement read in part, “Until his appointment, Adewuyi served as the managing director/senior country officer, Nigeria, for JP Morgan where he was responsible for executing growth strategies across all business lines–investment banking, treasury and cash management, trade finance, debt and equity capital markets, leveraged finance and advisory. “In his role as JP Morgan’s head of Nigeria, he was responsible for leading interaction with all Nigerian clients, high government officials, regulators and senior JP Morgan executives. In addition to his Nigeria responsibilities, over the last two years, Adewuyi also led JP Morgan’s sub-Saharan Africa cash management (“clearing”) and liquidity business, actively managing clients in South Africa, Ethiopia, Mauritius, Kenya, Ghana, Namibia, Botswana, Uganda and Tanzania.” The Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer, First Bank, Dr. Adesola Adeduntan, said Adewuyi would bring turned to armed conflict, jeopardising their present and future. Ryder said the resilience and ability of entire communities and societies to recover and build a better future were also jeopardised in the process. “Young people globally have spoken of their vision for a future with decent work. We know what works to improve decent employment outcomes of youth, let’s make it happen!” the ILO DG said. To leverage youth engagement in peace building, Ryder said youth voices must be heard, their creativity engaged, and their rights respected as stated in the ILO’s 2012 Call for Action. First Bank appoints new executive director to bear on the executive management and board of FBNBank UK over 20 years’ extensive experience covering both the UK and sub-Saharan Africa with cross-functional exposure to corporate and investment banking, treasury and investor services, trade finance and audit. “Though Adewuyi will based in the United Kingdom as an executive director, he will be an integral part of the leadership team of the group and I am confident that his appointment will further strengthen the Bank’s business in the United Kingdom and beyond,” he added.

The organisation called on young and smart graduates below the age of 27, who had a minimum of a second-class upper degree from a reputable He emphasised the importance of investing in youth skills and access to decent jobs. He added, “We also know that the youths are part of the solution: When young women and men are listened to, supported and empowered, they become active agents of peace building, actors for recovery and resilience. Highlighting the findings from the study tagged, “Rising to the Youth Employment Challenge’’, the ILO DG said, “Effective youth employment policies require a comprehensive strategy reflecting the interaction and interdependence of policies and programmes. Appropriately designed wage subsidies can enhance skills, offer meaningful work experience and improve longterm employment prospects for youth. “Self-employment programmes – with formalisation as a conditionality - can make formal employment an attractive alternative for young people and their enterprises, both disproportionately represented in the informal economy. “Today, we celebrate the contribution of young women and men to peace. Their dedication and courage should go together with our resolute commitment to scale up action and investment in skills and decent jobs for youth.” VFD Group supports talent management with training Nike Popoola FBN General Insurance Limited has appointed Babatunde Mimiko as an executive director.
