Theodore Roosevelt Jr., the 26th President of the United States, once said: “Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground”. For the elegant Chairman of Felak Concept Group, Dr. Aisha Achimugu, she is not only keeping her eyes on the star, she has also become a shining star. As an accomplished business tycoon with footprints in various sectors, including construction, maritime, digital economy and oil & gas, Achimugu has written her name in gold as one of the business leaders making huge contributions to the nation’s economy as well as a highly respected employer of labour in the country.
Today, Achimugu rubs shoulders with other world-class and renowned business moguls, as she has gradually built her career to the international stage. At different times, Achimugu, the founder of SAM Empowerment Foundation, has also been duly recognised for her philanthropy within and outside the country. For these feats and accomplishments, she has been generously honoured and recognised by various respectable platforms. The latest was on Saturday March 1, when this prodigious entrepreneur shared the podium with the crème of Nigeria’s business, political and social establishment at a glittering ceremony at Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos, where she was honoured with the prestigious award of Entrepreneur of the Year at The Sun Awards 2024.
