Oftentimes, Ambassador Maureen Tamuno, the Group Managing Director, Abuja Investment Company Limited, has proven her stewardship to the selfless cause, having served in different capacities. Tamuno is not your kind of woman that strives for frivolities. She belongs to the class of fine brains that are well respected in Nigeria. The Rivers State-born diplomat is an embodiment of numerous virtues: diligence, excellence and integrity, to name a few. Before her present position as GMD of Abuja Investment, Tamuno has held several positions, including her tenure as a top lawmaker in the Rivers State House of Assembly. Her beautiful story as the representative of her people in the Ogubolo Constituency remains one still being told in glowing terms.
As a diplomat and High Commissioner for Nigeria in Jamaica, she performed excellently. Again, since she was appointed by the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike to oversee the affairs of Abuja Investment, Tamuno’s performance has been nothing but highly extraordinary.
Apart from being the first female to be appointed as the head honcho of the investment company, the amiable technocrat has recorded many firsts and is still counting. A force to be reckoned with in Nigeria’s political and business sector, her impact readily qualifies her as one of the most audacious women Nigeria can boast of. All these have not only earned her laurels but have also wormed her into the hearts of many.
On Friday June 13, the admirable lady added another year, and it was indeed an opportunity for select friends, family members, and staff of Abuja Investment to celebrate the quintessential woman.
