The award, according to a notification from Global Skills Hub, United Kingdom, will be presented during the first Africa Leadership Summit and Awards scheduled to hold from October 8 to 10, 2026, at the GTEC Auditorium, East Legon, Accra, Ghana.
The summit has as its theme, “Building Influence through Personal Leadership,” and is aimed at recognising individuals whose leadership, influence, vision, integrity and commitment to positive societal impact have contributed to their communities, organisations and beyond.
In the notification signed by the Head of African Operations, Global Skills Hub, Dr Akhere Marian Akran, Olatunji was recognised for what the organisers described as his visionary leadership, commitment to excellence and ability to inspire others.
