The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) has conferred an honorary fellowship on Kola Adeshina, the Group Managing Director of Sahara Group. The alumnus of Harvard Business School Executive Education received the award during the 55th National Engineering Conference, Exhibition and Annual General Meeting, AGM of the Society, which took place at the International Conference Centre, ICC in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The NSE had earlier sent Adeshina a congratulatory letter two months before the award ceremony to inform him about it ahead of the event. He was honoured for his immense contribution to the promotion of engineering and his significant contributions to the development of the power sector and other remarkable efforts in his profession and in humanity in general.
The much sought-after resource person also chairs the board of some notable companies, such as Ikeja Electric where he provides strategic and visionary leadership for the execution of business goals and objectives.
He is a pan-Africanist, seasoned entrepreneur and avowed promoter of the Pan African Dream of regional integration and trade. Adeshina was recently honoured by the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as Member of the Federal Republic, MFR.
