Olukunle Fashina is the founder and editor of LENDING LOGIC LAB. He brings over five decades of life experience and a career spanning journalism, broadcast media leadership, financial administration, and hands-on consumer lending to the publication's coverage of loans, mortgages, and credit.
Professional Background
Olukunle is a Nigerian journalist and financial professional whose career has bridged media, public-sector finance, and the lending industry.
Loan Officer, Olowo Lagba Firm (Ikeja, Ogba, Lagos State, Nigeria). After completing his ACCA programme in London and returning to Nigeria, Olukunle worked as a Loan Officer at Olowo Lagba Firm. He was responsible for verifying the documents submitted by loan applicants and making recommendations to the appropriate decision-makers on whether the requested loan should be granted. In this role he saw first-hand why people borrow: for personal use, to start a business, to finance education, to buy a house or land, to clear medical bills, and for many other needs. That experience gave him a practical understanding of what borrowers go through and what lenders look for.
Editor-In-Chief, Lagos Traffic Radio. He served as Editor-In-Chief of Lagos Traffic Radio, Africa's first dedicated radio traffic station, where he led editorial operations and oversaw the accuracy and integrity of daily broadcast content.
Deputy Director, Lagos State Government. He has also held the position of Deputy Director within the Lagos State Government, applying his financial and administrative expertise in a senior public-sector role.
Senior Journalist. Olukunle has spent decades reporting, editing, and verifying information for public audiences, a discipline that directly informs the editorial standards applied to every article published on LENDING LOGIC LAB.

Experience
Olukunle's career reflects a rare combination of financial credentialing, frontline lending experience, and journalistic rigour. His accounting qualifications ground his understanding of financial products, rates, and figures. His time as a loan officer taught him how loan decisions are actually made: which documents matter, what raises concerns, and why applications succeed or fail. His journalism background, including senior editorial leadership at one of Africa's most recognised radio institutions, shapes his commitment to accuracy, sourcing, and clear communication with a general audience.
This combination underpins LENDING LOGIC LAB's approach: financial content that is technically accurate, independently researched, informed by real lending practice, and written in language that everyday readers can actually use.
