Ernest Ndukwe has been appointed as the new chairman of SystemSpecs, a financial technology company.
Gatekeepers News reports that Ndukwe, a former Chairman of MTN and former executive vice-chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) takes over from Nigeria’s former Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Christopher Kolade who retired after 15 years of leading the company.
Ndukwe’s appointment follows SystemSpecs’ 30th anniversary which saw the company expand its operations through the establishment of two subsidiaries – SystemSpecs Technology Services Limited (STSL) and Remita Payment Services Limited (RPSL).
John Obaro, Group Managing Director, SystemSpecs said the development is in line with the organisation’s vision of deepening its capacity to meet the technology needs of a broader market.
He said, “We are glad about how much we have been able to contribute to the transformation of the financial and human capital technology ecosystems in Africa, especially with Remita, our integrated payment and collections solution; HumanManager, our comprehensive payroll and HR management solution; and Paylink, our eCommerce platform.
“In these thirty years, we have created solutions that have impacted lives and put Nigeria on the global technology map. We have raised a new generation of Nigerian software talents and empowered private and public sector organisations of all sizes to effectively manage their people, finances, payments and collections.”
