@TonyOjobo1 Joins @greenplinth Africa as Chief Business Development Officer |
Tony Ojobo, a former telecommunications regulator with extensive experience in policy, regulation, and market development, has joined GreenPlinth Africa Limited as Chief Business Development Officer (CBDO), marking a strategic transition from telecommunications into climate change and climate finance.
Dr. Ojobo’s appointment signals GreenPlinth Africa’s intention to deepen its strategy, partnerships, and market-facing activities as climate action increasingly intersects with finance, regulation, and economic development across Africa.
From Telecoms Regulation to Climate Strategy
Dr. Ojobo spent years working within Nigeria’s telecommunications regulatory ecosystem, where he was involved in shaping policy frameworks, managing scarce national assets, and enabling market growth through regulation. He describes his move into climate as a continuation of systems thinking rather than a departure from his previous career path.
“After years working as a telecommunications regulator, driving policy, regulation, and market development, I have made an intentional transition into climate change and climate finance,” Dr. Ojobo said.

LAPO Microfinance Bank is taking bold action for climate, health, and inclusive growth.
By reaffirming support for the 80 Million Clean Cookstoves Project, LAPO MfB is helping transform how millions of Nigerian households access clean energy. This landmark initiative will reduce reliance on firewood, curb deforestation, improve public health, and expand access to energy-efficient cookstoves for low-income households nationwide.
Beyond environmental impact, the project empowers families, especially women, by reducing indoor air pollution, improving wellbeing, and supporting sustainable livelihoods. It also contributes significantly to Nigeria’s climate goals through carbon emission reduction and ecosystem protection.
For LAPO MfB, sustainability and financial inclusion go hand in hand. Protecting lives, communities, and the planet remains central to our mission.
