Chief Dr. Doli-Wura Zakaria Awushi Abdul-Malik Seidu, the Managing Director of National Investment Bank PLC, has received the titles of CEO of the Year in Finance and CEO of the Year in Transformational Leadership from the Ghana CEO Awards held at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.
The CEO Prize is an annual recognition program aimed at discovering and publicly honoring the top Chief Executives in business Ghana, spanning various industries. Qualified recipients of the award are CEOs from both private and public sector companies and organizations.
Prominent national and global figure, Chief Dr. Doli-Wura Zakaria, boasts more than 20 years of expertise in Governance, Public Financial Management, and Revenue Generation for both local and national authorities, alongside notable entrepreneurial skills.
Boasting extensive knowledge and experience, Chief Dr. Doli-Wura Zakaria is recognized as a pioneer in Leadership, Conflict Resolution, Mediation, Audit, Monitoring, and Decentralization.
He has expertise in Research, Training and Capacity Development, Networking, Advocacy, Fundraising, and Inter-Religious Peacebuilding. He currently serves as the Chairperson of the African Union Interfaith Dialogue Forum (AU-IFDF) Steering Committee.
As a symbol of expertise and insight, he aims to create significant impact wherever he is. It is thus no surprise that within six months, he collaborated with the Government, the Board, Management, and Staff to revitalize the National Investment Bank (NIB) PLC, which had been financially struggling for more than seven years. NIB PLC has now been fully recapitalized, and deposit mobilization has reached an all-time high of over GHS 7 billion.
The Bank has released its half-year 2025 Financial Statements, marking the first time in several years; staff morale is strong after reforms that included salary increases and a progressive return to better working conditions.
The honors reflect his extensive expertise, a demonstrated history of success, and his skill in reshaping financial structures, boosting income sources, and supporting national growth via creative approaches and successful execution.
Chief Dr. Doliwura Zakaria is brave and honest. His impressive leadership abilities, focus on outcomes, and collaborative nature make him a role model.
The honor serves as a motivation and a driving force to strengthen his efforts that support Ghana's economic development goals and to establish the Bank as a prominent player in the field of development finance.
The award's theme, "Encouraging Domestic and International Tourists and Investors via CEOS," could not have been selected more appropriately at this moment as the government searches every corner to gather resources for national growth.
The Board of Directors, Management, and Employees of National Investment Bank PLC extend their warmest congratulations to Chief Dr. Doli-Wura Zakaria Awushi Abdul-Malik Seidu on being honored as CEO of the Year in Finance and CEO of the Year in Transformational Leadership. “We are truly proud of you, as this achievement reflects positively on all stakeholders of NIB PLC.” We anticipate a future marked by ongoing progress, innovation, and effective leadership.
