Financial technology and banking infrastructure company, Mehtic Technology, has appointed three accomplished professionals to its Board of Directors as part of efforts to strengthen its corporate governance framework and accelerate its expansion across Africa.
The appointments of economist and financial expert Dr Chijioke Ekechukwu; banking and risk management specialist Dr Joel Haruna, and development economist Mr Olufemi Adegoke follow the entry of strategic investors into the company, signalling what the firm describes as a new phase in its growth and institutional development.
According to the company, the expanded Board will provide strategic oversight as Mehtic Technology scales its digital financial infrastructure, deepens financial inclusion, and broadens its footprint within Africa’s rapidly evolving financial services ecosystem.
The new directors bring extensive experience spanning banking, finance, economics, investment management, corporate governance, business strategy, development management and programme evaluation, expertise the company believes will strengthen its capacity to deliver innovative financial technology solutions.
Their appointment comes at a time when Mehtic Technology is expanding the reach of its flagship platforms, BankPlus and MehticPay, which provide digital banking and payment infrastructure to financial institutions, businesses and individuals across Nigeria and other African markets.
Dr Haruna has more than 22 years of experience in finance and banking, with expertise in risk management, operations, portfolio management, business development, strategic leadership, and advisory services.
Mr Adegoke is recognised for his work as a development economist and programme evaluation specialist, having led the design, implementation and assessment of development initiatives across Nigeria and other countries.
Dr Ekechukwu, an economist and financial expert, brings decades of experience in banking, investment management, finance and economic policy, positioning him to contribute significantly to the company’s long-term strategic direction.
Commenting on the appointments, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mehtic Technology, Ahmed Momoh Sani, described the development as a defining moment in the company’s evolution.
“We are building the technology infrastructure that will power the future of financial services across Africa. The appointment of Dr Chijioke Ekechukwu, Dr Joel Haruna, and Mr. Olufemi Adegoke reflects both the confidence our strategic investors have in our vision and our commitment to building a world-class institution. Their experience and leadership will be invaluable as we scale our impact, strengthen our governance framework, and accelerate innovation across our ecosystem,” Sani said.
He noted that the appointments underscore the company’s commitment to institutional excellence, sustainable growth, innovation and long-term value creation, while reinforcing confidence among partners, customers, investors and other stakeholders.
According to him, the strengthened Board will play a pivotal role in shaping the company’s strategic direction as it expands across the continent.
“As the company expands its footprint across Africa’s rapidly evolving financial services ecosystem, the strengthened Board will play a critical role in shaping its strategic direction, supporting market expansion, fostering innovation, and delivering transformative financial solutions that create lasting impact for businesses and communities,” he added.
The company said its management and staff have welcomed the new Board members, expressing confidence that their combined expertise will further its vision of transforming financial infrastructure and supporting economic growth across Africa.
The appointments come against the backdrop of sustained growth in Africa’s fintech sector, where increased demand for digital payments, financial inclusion and banking infrastructure has driven investment in technology-enabled financial services. Industry analysts note that strong corporate governance and experienced leadership remain critical factors for fintech companies seeking to scale across multiple markets while navigating evolving regulatory and operational landscapes.
