Otunba Adewale Jubril stands at the apex of EPIN's governance architecture as Chairman of the Institute's Board of Trustees — a position he occupies with the rare authority of a leader who has spent four decades at the intersection of environmental finance, capital markets, and sustainable development. A Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (FCS) and a Registered Environmental Practitioner, Otunba Jubril brings a uniquely cross-disciplinary perspective to the Institute's highest governance seat, commanding credibility across the financial services, sustainability, and regulatory practice domains.

His academic credentials are formidable: a Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Relations from the University of Lagos (1988), followed by three Master's Degrees — in Marketing (1993), International Law and Diplomacy (1998), and Economics (1999) — all from the University of Lagos. He qualified as an Authorised Dealing Clerk of The Nigerian Stock Exchange in 1992 and simultaneously attained the rank of Chartered Stockbroker, cementing his standing as one of Nigeria's early-generation capital markets professionals.

With over 37 years of progressive accomplishment spanning institutional financial management, sustainability finance, green investment advisory, regulatory practice, and private sector environmental consulting, Otunba Jubril's career trajectory speaks to extraordinary breadth. His professional affiliations underscore his standing: Fellow of the Institute of Credit Administration, Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Economists of Nigeria, Fellow of the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (FNIMN), and a Duly Registered Capital Market Operator with both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

As Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Otunba Jubril presides over EPIN's apex oversight organ, safeguards the Institute's constitution, assets and long-term institutional integrity, and provides the final layer of governance assurance above the Governing Council. Under his stewardship, EPIN continues to advance as Nigeria's foremost professional body for environmental practitioners, with a mandate that reaches well beyond national borders.
