President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO); Fola Adeola, co-founder of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, and Kola Adesina, managing director of Sahara Power Group, on the well-deserved conferment of honorary doctorate degrees on them by the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

The University recognised Dr Okonjo-Iweala for her trailblazing as the first African woman to lead the WTO and for introducing significant reforms in Nigeria’s financial sector. It honoured Adeola for his pioneering role in the Nigerian banking sector and for founding the FATE Foundation, an NGO mentoring young Nigerian entrepreneurs through training and loans.

While Adesina, an alumnus of the University, was recognised for his innovative contributions to the energy industry. Adesina is the Group Managing Director (GMD) of Sahara Power Group, an energy and infrastructure organisation with operations in 42 countries.

The three distinguished Nigerians were awarded a Doctor of Science honorary degree (D. Sc) by the University at its 55th convocation on January 16.

President Tinubu, in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, deeply admires these exceptional Nigerians who have excelled in their careers and are role models for the nation’s youth.
