The British board-level executive replaces Jacqueline Farris, who retired as director general but remains an active member of the board of directors.

Farris in the statement said Polly is an experienced board-level executive with a demonstrable history of sound project management and leadership skills.

Farris said Alakija served as an advisor to the Aliko Dangote Foundation and was chairperson of the Lagos State Council of Arts and Culture and Founder of Five Cowries Arts Education Initiative.
