Nigerian finance and risk management professional Anuoluwapo Rogers shared his insights on the transformation taking place across Africa’s financial sector at an interview held today, December 9, 2019. Speaking with clarity and purpose, Rogers emphasized the critical role that structured data, credit analysis, and transparent financial processes play in strengthening emerging economies.
By the end of 2019, Rogers had already built a strong professional foundation that set him apart in the field. During his time at Rosabon Financial Services, he worked extensively on reviewing borrower behavior and developing a model that assessed the repayment tendencies of repeat clients. This tool became influential in enhancing the organization’s credit screening and in improving overall loan performance by identifying early signs of potential default
Rogers’ analytical footprint broadened further at Petrolog Group, where he served as part of the finance and accounts team supporting a major revenue-generating vessel operation. His work included conducting financial variance evaluations and offering insights that contributed to operational clarity and precise reporting, an essential component in a sector where accuracy influences everything from supplier decisions to long-term financial planning
His earlier role at the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service also showcased his commitment to public-sector development. There, he contributed to strengthening tax education and broadening revenue awareness among residents, an effort that played a part in expanding the state’s tax capture and promoting better civic participation in government programs.
During the interview, Rogers encouraged young Africans to approach the financial industry with intentionality and continuous learning. “Build depth, stay consistent, and keep improving. Every step you take adds to your capacity,” he said.
His perspective continues to resonate with a generation seeking to shape Africa’s financial future through innovation, analysis, and discipline.
