July 21, (THEWILL) – It is beginning to look like Dr Aisha Achimugu’s three-in-one-million-dollar birthday bash both in Nigeria and the Caribbean country of Grenada has somewhat activated her recent winning streaks. First she got inducted into the Chartered Institute of Public Resources Management and Politics (CIPRMP) in March. The prestigious professional association headquartered in Ghana, welcomed Aisha OFR into their fold as a Senior Professional Chartered Fellow of the institute.
CIPRMP had praised her as a trailblazer, succeeding in industries traditionally perceived as male dominated. The body highlighted her accomplishments as a testament to the transformative power of ethical leadership, responsible business practices, and a genuine commitment to societal betterment. Then in June, she bagged the philanthropist of the year award during ‘Champion’ Newspapers annual awards ceremony where her philanthropic acts which have impacted millions of people and communities in Nigeria over the years were highlighted. And only recently, she received the African Female Business Leader of the Year award at the 2024 African Achievers Awards held in the United Kingdom Parliament. She was given this honour because of her impact in the business sector in Nigeria and Africa.
During her acceptance speech, the serial entrepreneur urged Africans to be proud of their continent stating that Africans are great people created by God while also affirming that the continent has produced great people who are doing great all over the world and are also proud of where they come from. She thereafter urged Africans to make the continent great by moving away from making only speeches to taking actual actions and bringing progress. Aisha was honoured alongside Barrister Caleb Muftwang, Plateau State Governor; Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III; South African Visu Thembekwayo, Founder and CEO of MyGrowth Fund Venture Partner, South Africa; and Gospel Singer Moses Bliss.
Aisha is the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FELAK Concept Group, comprising eight active companies spanning various sectors including Engineering, Maritime, Oil and Gas, ICT Learning and Development, among others.
Ivory Ukonu is a versatile journalist with many years of experience, with entertainment and society reporting as her area of core competence.
