CITIZENS COMPASS – THAT Dr. Ayo Ogunsan is a well-known name in the public circles as a frontline security aficionado and business magnate is not news but the eye of the media is not closed to the engine which is running the multimillion dollar conglomerate called Executive Group. The media recognises that there is an unseen backbone who has reinforced and uplifted the Executive Group.

It is on this premise that the Managing Director of the global conglomerate Executive Group, Dr. (Mrs) Ajoke Oluwafunmilola Ogunsan is being spotlighted by the Nigerian Guardian Newspaper as one of the top 50 women in leadership. This is in recognition of her landmark ‘yeo-woman’ job which has elevated the Executive Group into a global conglomerate on multiple fronts. Trek Africa Newspaper can report that the exposé to showcase and celebrate Dr. Mrs. Ajoke Oluwafunmilola Ogunsan alongside 49 other Nigerian Amazons will also inspire other women and indeed every Nigerian.
Describing the impact of Dr. (Mrs) Ajoke Oluwafunmilola Ogunsan as the business leader of the multimillion dollar Executive Group, the leading Nigeria newspaper, Guardian Newspaper noted: ‘In view of your remarkable accomplishments as one of the most reputed women in leadership in Nigeria, directing the affairs of one of the most outstanding organisations in the country, as well as your overall contribution to the growth of the nation’s economy, you have been selected as a major stakeholder to contribute to the report’ which is a Special Focus on Nigeria’s 50 Most Outstanding and Impactful Women in Leadership.
