Bella Disu: Shattering the Glass Ceilings at 37

When one thinks about how rapidly the rivers of life flow, one might despair while believing that time is too short to accomplish anything more than ordinary. But Bella Disu, the daughter of Dr. Mike Adenuga, is doing much more than ordinary even though she is just 37. In fact, at this age, the daughter of the man known as the Spirit of Africa is doing so well that it is believed that she is looking up to her father in terms of accomplishments.

There is no doubt that inheritance is an amazing thing, especially when what is being passed from one generation to the next is something positive and rare. For the Adenugas, it is clear that Bella has inherited her father’s spirit of sterling achievements, borne on the shoulders of diligence, vision, and talent.

At 37, Bella is the proud Chairman of the Board of Directors at Abumet Nigeria Limited, a para-construction firm that is a subsidiary of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc. She came on board in 2021 and has taken the company’s mandate of providing solutions for installation needs for aluminium and glass products further than anticipated.

One of the biggest deals about the company is that it is currently handling the renovation project of the NNPC Towers in Abuja. As a result, the company is being watched closely, especially because the person in charge has crafted corporate miracles out of nowhere in times past.

With her current corporate might as the Executive Vice-Chairman of Globacom, CEO of Cobblestone Properties & Estates Limited, and Board Director of the Mike Adenuga Center Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Bella is the splitting corporate image of her father. But that is not all she is: she is also a happy wife and proud mother.

At 37, Bella is doing amazing things, walking the same path as her father, but breaking glass ceilings up and down.
