Ekundayo would officially be taking over from Mr. Taiwo
Gbenga Owokalade who has achieved significant feats for the Institute in the
last two years.
Her investiture taking place in Lagos on 11th July would
mark a phase of a new leadership style probably, different from the
administrative styles of the 28 past presidents of the Institute who were all
men. This is even, as its members and other stakeholders in the corporate world
expect something different from her.
As a fellow of the Institute and a Lawyer, who is also
versed in corporate governance, stock brokerage and marketing, it is expected
of her to bring to bear her wealth of knowledge and experience to take the
Institute to a greater height by deepening the Institute’s public embrace
across every sector.
“Funmi’s professional and career trajectory has positioned
her for the tasks ahead particularly now, that Nigeria is yet battling with
socio-economic and political turbulences affecting all and sundry” a statement
signed and delivered by the Institute’s secretariat reads.
