Sadiya Jalal

At the Central Bank of Nigeria, I led ISO 22301:2019 BCMS certification across 20+ critical business functions, delivering an operational, audit-ready continuity management system.

As concurrent Operational Risk Officer and BCM Controls Officer, I facilitated RCSA workshops with 15+ department heads, owned a 200+ risk enterprise register, and reduced high-priority operational risk incidents by 30% year over year.

I activated a live BCP during civil unrest, coordinating emergency response across distributed operations to achieve 100% staff safety and zero disruption to critical banking services. I also led quarterly drills and tabletop exercises for 100+ participants and reduced average recovery time by 25% through post-incident improvements.

I translate complex risk findings into board-ready intelligence, KRI dashboards, and practical remediation plans. My work has improved compliance participation from 60% to 80%+, closed 40+ audit findings without repeat issues, and maintained zero control breaches.
