SiBAN has appointed a new president following a leadership transition that strengthened blockchain policy engagement and institutional credibility nationwide.
Stakeholders of the Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria (SiBAN) have appointed Mela Claude-Ake as the new President, succeeding Obinna Iwuno, who stepped down after completing his tenure.
Iwuno’s exit follows what observers describe as the most impactful period in SiBAN’s history. Under his leadership, the association transformed from a loosely coordinated group into a structured, policy-facing institution with national and global relevance. He repositioned SiBAN as the main bridge between blockchain operators and government regulators during a time of regulatory uncertainty.
His administration guided the association through market volatility, helped prevent regulatory breakdowns, and maintained investor confidence in Nigeria’s blockchain ecosystem. Iwuno also oversaw a transparent election process but declined to seek re-election, emphasizing democratic succession.
As Claude-Ake assumes leadership, SiBAN prepares for future policy, regulatory, and industry challenges ahead of Nigeria’s evolving digital economy.
