IN SHORT

Sola David-Borha started at the bottom of Nigeria’s banking industry and climbed her way up to become the Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc. She has been a constant source of inspiration to her colleagues and to young Nigerians through her strength, integrity and determination in the face of challenge. “There is no problem or challenge that there is not a solution for, but you need to know how to go about solving the problem, which involves gaining as much information about it as possible. Most importantly, you have to want to do the right thing no matter how difficult the outcome is.”
