At the prestigious Africa Industrial Development Conference and Awards 2024, themed “Middle East Investors’ Summit Expo,” Oyo State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, was honored with the Best Performing Speaker Award. This award, presented during the Gala night on the second day of the two-day event, is a testament to his exceptional leadership and dedication to legislative excellence.

Rt. Hon. Ogundoyin’s journey is a remarkable one. In 2019, he became the youngest state House of Assembly Speaker in Nigeria, and he currently serves as the Chairman of the Conference of Speakers in Nigeria. His recognition as the Best Performing Speaker underscores his role as a true ambassador of the “Not Too Young to Run” movement, embodying the spirit of youthful leadership, legislative acumen, and unwavering public service.

The significance of this award extends beyond personal achievement. It highlights the pivotal role Rt. Hon. Ogundoyin plays in representing his colleague speakers in the Conference and his commendable efforts in passing bills that have a direct and positive impact on the lives of the people in Oyo State. Under his leadership, the Oyo State House of Assembly has worked in close collaboration with the Executive branch to drive meaningful development and transformation.

Rt. Hon. Ogundoyin’s leadership has been characterized by adept crisis management, demonstrating that true leadership is not the absence of challenges but the ability to navigate and resolve them effectively. His ability to maintain harmony and progress within the Assembly is a reflection of his exceptional leadership skills.

This award is also a source of inspiration for young politicians across Nigeria, proving that age is no barrier to significant political and legislative accomplishments. Rt. Hon. Ogundoyin’s achievements serve as a beacon of hope and encouragement for the next generation of leaders.

The organizers of the event, Dotmount Communications, led by Otunba Dotun Olaoluwa, deserve commendation for their efforts in bringing together prospective investors from six Arabian countries, the United States, the United Kingdom, and two African countries.

The presence of high-profile attendees, including the Ministers of Aviation, Agriculture, Foreign Affairs, Mining and Solid Minerals, members of the diplomatic corps, and captains of industries, underscores the importance and impact of this event.

The elated Rt. Hon. Ogundoyin expressed his excitement and gratitude for the recognition. During the event, he also had the opportunity to meet an interested investor whom he has invited to Oyo State to commence the production of medical and industrial gases, signaling a promising future for industrial growth in the region.

As a privileged witness to this momentous occasion, I, Adeniyi Rotimi Johnson, also known as Ojasope, join in celebrating Rt. Hon. Ogundoyin’s achievement. The Director General of the Conference of Nigeria Speakers was also present, cheering him on.

In conclusion, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin’s recognition as the Best Performing Speaker is a well-deserved accolade that celebrates his exemplary leadership, dedication to public service, and his role in inspiring the next generation of Nigerian leaders.
