UK-based Show Promoter, Omobolanle Olatishe, Honoured

For Omobolanle Olatishe, the question many of her admirers and friends ask is how she was able to survive and strive in a male-dominated environment. Her answer has always been that, dedication, hard work and a doggedness that knows no gender.

Olatishe, a successful show promoter and serial entrepreneur worked hard to attain her current status and has remained distinct as a show promoter of high repute in the UK, her country of residence. The founder of Alexes Alexes promotion is known for not doing things in half measure, the reason she takes her time and expends her money to promote Nigeria’s music: Afrobeats, Juju and Fuji genres of music and putting them on the world stage.

For her dedication to business and the successes of her 10 business ventures running concurrently in the UK and Nigeria, as well as her dedication to cheerful giving, the Iyalaje of Aramoko-Ekiti kingdom last week received a well-deserved honorary doctorate in public sector management and Business Administration from the prestigious London Institute of Public Sector Management as a part of celebrating the institution’s 40th anniversary.

While she was being presented with the degree, it was noted that her contribution to the public sector, and business administration in the UK were criteria for selecting her for the award.
