40Under40 Nigeria Recognises Entourage Integrated Trust CEO, Among 100 Persons of the Year 2025

40Under40 Nigeria has named Chief Executive Officer of Entourage Integrated Trust Limited, Seyi Asagun, among its 100 Persons of the Year 2025, recognising his leadership in building one of Nigeria’s most trusted grassroots microfinance institutions.

The recognition follows a well-attended award ceremony in Lagos and underscores Entourage Integrated Trust’s growing influence in expanding access to finance for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises across Nigeria.

Under Asagun’s leadership, Entourage Integrated Trust has grown into a nationwide financial institution operating in 29 states, supporting entrepreneurs often underserved by traditional banking systems.

Through tailored loan products, strong field operations, and a customer-first approach, the company has helped thousands of traders, SMEs, and professionals access capital responsibly and sustainably.

Speaking on the recognition, Asagun described the award as a reflection of Entourage’s collective work rather than a personal achievement.

“This recognition belongs to the entire Entourage team and the entrepreneurs who trust us with their growth. At Entourage, we believe finance should empower people, strengthen businesses, and build communities. This honour reinforces our responsibility to keep building systems that work for real Nigerians,” he said.

The 40Under40 Nigeria 100 Persons of the Year platform celebrates leaders whose impact extends beyond visibility-spotlighting individuals building institutions that deliver long-term value and measurable outcomes.

For Entourage Integrated Trust, the recognition further validates its commitment to ethical lending, financial inclusion, and sustainable growth, as the company continues to expand its reach, deepen its product offerings, and position itself for its next phase of national and regional growth.
