MEET OUR FACILITATORS
Dubem Agbakoba. EMS Lead Auditor (IMSA)
I’ve over 19 years experience with over 10 years Management and Team leadership in the Telecommunications Sector in Nigeria and this makes me an invaluable resource in the Telecommunications sector, Environmental Regulatory and Community Management space in Nigeria. Worked at entry, middle, senior management and executive management capacities at MTN Nigeria as the pioneer HSE Coordinator, Airtel Nigeria where I set up the EMS dept which ensured IFC funding and regulatory compliance. At MTN and Airtel Networks, I managed all systems and processes for environmental regulatory compliance. At ATC Nigeria Wireless Infrastructure Limited, (“ATC Nigeria”) an offshore operation of Boston based American Tower Corporation (“ATC”), I was a pioneer member of the Executive Council (“EXCO”) in Nigeria charged with HSE responsibilities and have significantly contributed to ATC Nigeria being the preferred Infraco in Nigeria. My capacity to ethically and successfully navigate through very complex operational challenges within the environmental regulatory functions, communities with tendencies for business disruptions as well as the Ministries, Department and Agencies (“MDAs”) is verifiably unapparelled in the industry. My successes in securing relevant environmental regulatory approvals well ahead of projected record time, expedited resolution of very simple and complex issues across the various geopolitical zones, strategic and professional advice to other offshore ATC operations in the middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) are other facts validating my achievements in the sector. My relationships and strategic partnership with all relevant external stakeholders in this regard have continued to endear ATC Nigeria to the hearts and minds of all its partners. This is further demonstrated in my ability, working with my teams to have proactively averted any environmental regulatory sanctions for any alleged environmental non-compliances to local legislation from inception to date. The same also applied to MTN Nigeria and Airtel Nigeria all through my career at both organisations.
