As 2024 gradually comes to a wrap, the year’s last edition of U50 Magazine features some of the top 8 CEOs leading agencies and entities under Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda, and we take a look into the one year since their appointment by the Commander in Chief.
The name Tola Odeyemi may not be to many Nigerians as popular as the Nigeria Postal Service, yet her rich resume and tenacious leadership milieu has made it irrefutable her deserved position to feature in the top 8 chief executives officer under 50 appointed in Tinubu’s federal D.As. Her vision to transform one of Nigeria’s oldest establishments, NIPOST, to become a major competitor to the DHL and FedEx seems to garner more optimism for the days ahead. And for many who have dreaded a day when every citizen will be known by a national identification number, Engr. Coker Bisoye is on a mission to assail your fears with a user friendly technology system that simplifies citizen identification for every Nigerian with integrated system for banking, passport and other features. Two women leading the way in just one year into the Renewed Hope agenda of president Bola Ahmed Tinubu government.
Our Goodbeats brings you interesting milestones in the advancement of the “Not Too Young Run” campaign; Edo state’s hard fought governorship election brings the emergence of Nigeria’s youngest governor. The 44 year old politician, Hon Idahosa had gained a reputation as one of the star lights of people centric politics and humanitarian, the nomination to run alongside APC’s candidate in the state had room for little doubt of victory at the poll. We followed up on the marching stride of the top under 50 public officers at Nigeria’s apex bank, popularly known as Dattijo, Dr Muhammad Sani Abdullahi, deputy governor, Economic Directorate of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) being appointed the Chairman of NIRSAL. Jennifer Adighije is one lady who stepped into the shoes worn only by men yet president Bola Ahmed Tinubu defied the erstwhile tradition to pave way for innovation and reform. The new managing director and first female CEO of Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) grind her teeth in public policy formulation and implementation at the presidency engendering her preparedness to make her strides. Much anticipation!
We are excited to celebrate with over 200 million Nigerians on the 65 years journey since the nation’s founding fathers looked the colonialists in the eyes and demanded that “let our people go.” There may be marshy day ahead but without a doubt we are set on a great trajectory that holds a prosperous and lushful day ahead.
