Early life and education

[edit]

Oluikpe was born on 12 July 1972 in Kputuke, Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South of Abia State, Nigeria. He attended Ovuokwu Omoba Secondary School and Ihie High School, and proceeded to Abia State University, where he obtained a Bachelor's degree in Library Studies in 1998.[6] He thereafter left for the United Kingdom to study at Loughborough University, UK, where he obtained an MSc from the School of Business and Economics in 2003 and a PhD in Civil Engineering in 2007.[7] He also attended the University of Oxford for a postgraduate programme in strategy and innovation and finished with a distinction from Oxford's Saïd Business School. Oluikpe is a Chartered Banker and a member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria and an expert on the Council on African Security and Development (CASAD).[8]

Career

[edit]

Financial inclusion

[edit]

Oluikpe works at the Central Bank of Nigeria[9][10] where he has led financial inclusion efforts across Nigeria, to reach vulnerable people with financial products and services.[11][12] As head of financial inclusion, he has worked on scaling pensions,[13] and insurance, closing the gender gap in inclusion,[14] digital literacy[15] and accelerating financial services agent networks across Nigeria.[16] In recognition of his work on financial inclusion, green finance and climate change, Oluikpe was honoured by the Alliance for Financial Inclusion with a Technical Leadership Award at the 2023 Global Policy Forum in Manila, Philippines.[17]

Writing

[edit]

Oluikpe’s most recent book, Swim or Sink: Policy Dynamics in Challenging Environments (2024), identifies seven forces which determine policy success or failure, and focuses on the art of interacting and engaging with public opinion to achieve policy objectives[18][19]. Its central thesis lies in the author’s argument that the economy, politics, ambiguity, complexity, instability, resources and execution comprise a set of seven forces pivotal to policy success or failure.[20]

Oluikpe's novel, Dead on Arrival (2013),[21] mirrors the Nigerian Civil War and its impact on a small village in South Eastern Nigeria[22] while The Campus Mafia (2006),[23] a short novel, provides a narrative depicting the evils of campus cultism in Nigeria. He won the Emerald Citation for Excellence Awards in 2015[24] for his paper "Developing a Corporate Knowledge Management Strategy".[25]

Musical works

[edit]

Oluikpe is a gospel musician with an extensive discography to his credit and some of his selected works include You are God,[26] Tell Me Why,[27] Know You More,[28] Obuliwom Elu,[29] I Give Myself to You[30] and the Rock that never fails.[31] Oluikpe is the host of God of Heaven Concert. At the maiden edition in 2017, he hosted Frank Edwards, Chris Morgan, Solomon Lange, Prospa Ochimana and Late Osinachi Nwachukwu.[32]
