NEAL Gets New Executives

It was an awesome moment over the weekend in Lagos State as members of CSAAE’s Network of Effective African Leaders (NEAL) converged from around the globe for their Annual General Meeting (AGM). The event took place from the 13th to 15th of August, 2021.

High point of the meeting was the election of a new NEAL executive council. The election saw the emergence of a fast-rising star in the business consultancy industry in the country, Mr. Samson Okolinta as President and Ms. Oluchi Onwukwe, a medical scientist, as Vice President. Other elected members of the council include Mr. Valentine Momoh, an agro economist and consultant, as Secretary. Ms. Rhaodot Jimoh, a recent first-class graduate of UNILORIN, emerged as Financial Secretary while Ms. Maryam Umar was appointed by the Board of Trustees, as the Founder’s delegate.

In his brief acceptance speech, Mr. Okolinta who happens to be an economics expert promised to take the network to a higher level. He pledged to give the network a global recognition within the two years of his tenure.

In his congratulatory message, the Founder of CSAAE, Rev. Fr. Dr. Godswill Agbagwa, urged the new executive council to be focused and assured them of his Rock-solid support.
