According to him, because of his contribution, Dr. Aladesulu has taken the apex bank to the apex level in IT applications.

“Evidently he has taken CBN to the apex level in IT applications and in the rendering on-line real-time services to the banking sector, thereby ensuring confidence in the Nigerian Economy,” Dr. Olufuye noted.
