Profile Summary

Hi, I am Dr. Murtala Umar Sanda, and for over 17 years, I have worked at the frontline of Nigeria’s financial recovery process; resolving distressed assets, managing credit risk, and translating raw financial data into decisions that drive stability for institutions, regulators, and the nation at large. Today, I serve as Manager and Head of Recovery Risk at Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), where I engage in the resolution of a US$25 billion Federal Government Bad Bank. I also led the recovery risk strategy for a loan portfolio exceeding $12.2B and built the frameworks that now support executive decisions, regulatory confidence, and national financial stability. I have built automation systems that now power AMCON’s enforcement operations. My dashboard design helped cut reporting time by over 60%, improved data quality by 20%, and earned formal commendation from executive management. I don’t believe in managing by routine. I believe in ownership, seeing a broken system, fixing it, and creating something better in its place. I have led automation initiatives, built smarter ways to reconcile credit data, and taught my teams how to move from task execution to real action, because beyond my job, I care about clarity, outcomes, and team growth. This mindset helped me lead the automation of AMCON’s Enforcement Dashboard, now used Corporation-wide. It helped me identify critical failures in legacy systems like FinnOne and resolve them without disrupting national reporting. And it’s why I have earned multiple commendations for my automation initiatives, which led to optimal reporting & efficiency. Outside my work, I am passionate about knowledge sharing and building team capacity. I believe technical skills without understanding are wasted, and that growing others is part of every great system. If you’re building a team that needs real leadership in credit risk recovery, asset management or data analytics or if you need clarity inside your own financial frameworks, I’m open to conversations that lead to real change.
