Author Information

Leo Onyiriuba is a leading banker and author on banking. He has in the last decade made significant contributions to the development of banking practice in West Africa. He ever seeks to proffer solutions to problems which constrain operators and stakeholders in the banking industry. This goal drives his hope to bring about positive changes in the work of bankers that affect ordinary people. Onyiriuba started building a voice when, as a budding author, he wrote Economic policy and economic development in Africa (2000). He was moved to write the book by a need to transform Africa. He adopted a dispassionate stance in analyzing the underlying issues. His all-time bestseller, Analysing and managing risks of bank lending (2004), built on foregoing foundation. His voice became more compelling over time as he published Drives and tasks in bank marketing (2008), Dictionary and language of banking (2010), and Credit risk: Taming a hotbed of reckless banking (2013). Onyiriuba is now a well-known and respected voice in banking circles in Nigeria - and, indeed, West Africa. His latest work, Twisted fate (2013), underscores his passion about leading a fulfilling life. He makes a case in Take charge of your finances: Borrow to be rich, not poor - his forthcoming book on personal finance - for borrowing money without fear from banks to jumpstart, advance, or consolidate well-thought-out business plans. Born on 13 June 1961, Onyiriuba holds undergraduate and post-graduate degrees in business administration and finance. He started a career in banking in 1991 after a stint as a lecturer in the university. As a banker, he was at various times group head (commercial banking), regional director (Lagos), and divisional director (corporate banking). Presently, Leo Onyiriuba runs a financial consultancy in Lagos, Nigeria.
