When Abubakar Abdullahi Kure was appointed to take charge as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NIRSAL Microfinance Bank in 2020, the country was already heading to a recession induced by the Covid-19 lockdown and the former administration led by Muhammadu Buhari needed intervention programmes that will help the country exit recession.
Kure joined the bank from the Central Bank of Nigeria, where he had served in various departments of the CBN, including Banking Supervision and Other Financial Institutions Departments, among others.
