It was a day of fun and merriment a
few days ago at the palatial Abuja office of the Funmi Ayinke Nigeria Limited
as the Managing Director of the establishment, Engineer Mrs Funmilayo Ayinke
Waheed-Adekojo was awarded Fellowship of the UK based Institute of Management
Specialists.
Friends, associates as well as
employees were all around to witness the occasion which had to be held in
the Abuja office of the company because of prevailing situation in Abuja.
Speaker after speaker spoke on the
diligence of the CEO of Funmi Ayinke Nigeria Limited and how as a woman she has
proved that gender does not in any way limit her abilities.
In their citation before the
presentation, representatives of the UK based institute revealed that Engineer
Funmilayo Waheed-Adekojo’s doggedness, diligence to duty was what recommended
her. They stated that she has been àn example to many in positions of management
with the way she heads her various organisations.
In her acceptance speech, Engineer
Funmilayo Waheed-Adekojo appreciated the UK-based Institute. She also disclosed
that she had pleaded with God that her life should be like a Bible for people
around as well as generations to come to read so that they will be able to
appreciate God’s work in her life.
The pretty easy going female
Engineer has carved a niche for herself through her philanthropy which has
taken her through many parts of Nigeria especially with her programmes for the
youths.
To many she is God-sent having
taking them off the poverty level through empowerment.
Tens of thousands are believed to
have benefited from her benevolence.
