JarusHub’s Remarks
Tokunbo is arguably Nigeria’s number one home-based female investment banker still practising. Trained in Ife and London, she is a thoroughbred finance guru and one of the most popular faces LinkedIn splashes at you when you get close to CFA network.
Another thing: CFA became popular in Nigeria only in the last 15 years, and embraced more by new generation Finance professionals. Some of the experienced investment bankers of her generation didn’t see the need to write CFA. She is one of the few that did.
