June 15, (THEWILL) — NCR Nigeria Plc has announced the appointment of Mrs Oluwatoyin Saraki as a Non-Executive Director, strengthening the company’s board as it builds on its recent financial recovery and growth momentum.
The appointment was disclosed in a statement signed by the Company Secretary, Bernice Anya. According to the company, Mrs Saraki’s appointment took effect on June 11, 2026, and is subject to ratification by shareholders at the company’s next Annual General Meeting (AGM).
NCR Nigeria stated that the appointment followed a written resolution passed by its Board of Directors on June 11, 2026.
“The Board of Directors of NCR (Nigeria) Plc, by way of a written resolution dated Thursday, 11 June 2026, appointed Her Excellency, Mrs Oluwatoyin Saraki, as a Non-Executive Director on the Board of the Company with effect from 11 June 2026, subject to ratification by the shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company”, the statement noted.
The company said Saraki brings extensive experience in law, governance, policy advocacy, and strategic leadership gained across the private, public, and multilateral sectors. The Board and Management also expressed confidence in her ability to contribute meaningfully to the company’s long-term growth and governance objectives.
Saraki is widely recognised for her work in global health and development. She serves as the Inaugural and Emeritus Global Goodwill Ambassador for the International Confederation of Midwives and is a Special Adviser to the World Health Organisation (WHO) Regional Office for Africa. She also holds several advocacy roles, including UNFPA Nigeria Family Planning Champion and Global Champion for the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood.
Her appointment comes at a pivotal time for NCR Nigeria, which returned to profitability in 2025, posting a pre-tax profit of ₦196.04 million compared with a ₦2.1 billion loss in 2024. Improved revenue, lower operating costs, and the absence of exchange-rate losses supported the turnaround, while the company’s share price surged by 1,354 percent during the year, reflecting renewed investor confidence.
