Fintrak Software, Nigeria’s indigenous software development firm, has announced the recognition of its group managing director, Bimbo Abioye, as one of the ‘Top 50 Most Valuable Personalities in Nigeria’s Digital Economy’.
The ceremony, held in Lagos, celebrated Abioye’s outstanding contributions to the nation’s digital landscape. Despite his absence due to commitments in an Eastern African country, Mr. Bimbo Abioye was represented by Ladi Ipaye, who graciously accepted the award on his behalf.
The accolade underscores Abioye’s remarkable achievements and relentless dedication to advancing Nigeria’s digital economy.
Reflecting on Abioye’s impact, the executive director, Business Development at Fintrak, Ladi Ipaye said, “Bimbo Abioye has spearheaded Fintrak’s transformation into a powerhouse within the fintech ecosystem, elevating the firm from a modest consultancy to an international leader in software development, particularly in the financial sector.”

According to him, Abioye’s influence extends beyond national borders, with Fintrak’s footprint expanding across Africa. By fostering capacity building initiatives, Abioye emerges as a Pan-Africanist, nurturing talent not only within Nigeria but also in neighboring countries like Benin.
“In recognition of his expertise and contributions, Abioye was appointed President of the Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON), entrusted with steering the organization towards addressing contemporary global challenges.
“Bimbo Abioye’s indelible mark on Nigeria’s digital economy exemplifies his unwavering commitment to innovation, excellence, and empowerment.
