Few days ago, Dr. Abdulsalam Ogbemudia, received Swiss Leadership Award and Swiss Golden Business Achievers Award by Swiss School of Business and Management-Switzerland, and the Unicaribbean Business School-Nigeria in Abuja.
In his chat with the GreenLand News, Dr Ogbemudia said, “These awards is a recognition of industriousness and contribution to excellence and overall good of society. It will spur me to tenaciously hold on to my philosophy of not being after building estates or mansion but to contribute to the growth and development of living souls.”
Dr. Ogbemudia, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Niyya Food and Drinks Company Limited; manufacturers of the popular Farm Pride juice and yoghurt drinks, has employed many Nigerians; thereby reducing unemployment in the country.
In his words:
“I received two international awards from the International Summit of Leaders courtesy of my nomination by the Swiss School of Business & Management-Switzerland, and the Unicaribbean Business School-Nigeria. These include the International Swiss Leadership Award and the International Swiss Golden Business Achievers Award capping it up with my investiture as a Senior Member of the International Summit of Leader; all in one day!”
Dr Ogbemudia who said his late father was his Role Model also said, “I dedicate these honours to my late father, who was my best friend. I love Baba (as I used to call him) to my bones marrow and deep down to the nucleus of the core of my innermost heart. I only wish he is alive today to see his son that he loved so much and was highly proud of.”
Dr Ogbemudia, gives thanks to God for his blessings and achievement and promised to render selfless service to the society.
