The appointment of Professor Kolawole Subair as the new President and Chairman of the Institute of Assets and Values Management of Nigeria (IAVMN) marks a significant shift in leadership within the organization. Announced on July 7, 2026, this transition comes at a time when the IAVMN is under pressure to enhance standards in asset management and valuation across Nigeria.

Subair, a respected academic and practitioner in the field, succeeds a tenure marked by efforts to modernize the institute's operations and expand its influence. "I am committed to driving the agenda of professionalism and ethical practice in asset management," Subair stated, emphasizing his vision for the IAVMN. His leadership is expected to leverage his extensive experience to strengthen partnerships and develop training programs that respond to industry needs.

Looking ahead, Subair's presidency may play a pivotal role in positioning the IAVMN as a leader in asset management in Africa. With increasing economic challenges and the need for robust asset valuation practices, his tenure could usher in a new era of credibility and growth for the institute, aligning it with global standards.
