adsThe Board and Management Team of Tatum Bank recently paid a courtesy visit to the Governor of Lagos State, His Excellency Babajide Sanwo-Olu, as part of efforts to formally introduce the Bank to the State Government and commend the Governor for his administration’s developmental strides and contributions towards strengthening Lagos’ economic growth.
The delegation was led by the Managing Director of Tatum Bank, Niyi Adeseun, alongside the Executive Director, George Oko-Oboh, Non-Executive Director, Tonya Lawani, Non-Executive Director, Frank Okosun, and other members of the Bank’s Management Team.
Speaking during the visit, the Managing Director, Adeseun, highlighted the vision and essence behind the Bank’s identity, noting that the name “Tatum” was derived from the Latin word “Tutum,” meaning “a safe haven.” According to him, the name reflects the Bank’s commitment to providing customers with security, trust, and confidence in their financial wellbeing.
Mr. Adeseun further informed the Governor that the Bank, which commenced operations in May 2025, achieved the Central Bank of Nigeria’s recapitalization milestone within approximately ten months of operation, a feat he described as a strong testament to the confidence reposed in the Bank’s leadership by shareholders and critical stakeholders.
