Grateful for the privilege of chairing the upcoming occasion, Ilaboya expressed profound appreciation for Odegbami’s continued mentorship and the rare opportunity to collaborate on this esteemed project.

The stage is set for a memorable awards ceremony, thanks to the collaborative efforts of Frank Ilaboya, Dr. Segun Odegbami, and the dedicated team behind the scenes.
