Mr. Gbeleyi, a distinguished financial expert and chartered accountant, brings a wealth of experience to the role. He is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN). His academic credentials are further bolstered by executive programs at the London Business School, Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and Lagos Business School.
With over three decades of post-qualification experience, Mr. Gbeleyi has worked across various sectors, including manufacturing, FMCG, investment and commercial banking, project finance, telecommunications, infrastructure, and public administration.

President Tinubu has expressed confidence that Mr. Gbeleyi's extensive expertise will significantly enhance the operations of the BPE. The President anticipates that under Mr. Gbeleyi's leadership, the BPE will further its mission as a national resource center focused on capacity building, promoting a competitive private sector-driven economy, ensuring social accountability, efficient public resource deployment, and advancing corporate governance and fiduciary discipline in both the public and private sectors.
