Born on September 25th 1985, Asuquo Ekpenyong who is the current Cross River State’s Finance Commissioner, is Nigeria’s youngest commissioner.
He was an integral part of Cross Rivers State Governor, Ben Ayade’s, campaign. So, his nomination along with 27 others into the State House of Assembly did not come as a surprise.
However, the young commissioner did not begin as a politician. After his secondary school education in King’s College, Lagos, he went to the United Kingdom where he got his BSc. in and MSc. (Distinction) in International Banking and Financial Services at the University of Reading.
After a brief working stint in England, he returned to Nigeria to work as a Financial Analyst in Lagos and then relocated to Cross River to become a lecturer in the Banking and Finance Department of the University of Calabar.
His portfolio in Business and Economics is impressive. He attended the Key Executive Program at the Harvard Business School, the Global Executive Leadership Program at Howard University Business School; the Executive Management Development Program at the University of Pretoria; the Euromoney Oil & Gas School London and is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria.
Even more, he established Iquasu Ventures Ltd in 2010 and later took over as the MD of Chamley Bureau de Change Ltd. He was later appointed as the Executive Director for finance at Pearland Energy and Non-Executive Director at Ekondo Microfinance Bank Ltd.
Many are looking forward to see him make good in politics with professional expertise.
