Engr. Dr Emmanuel Aderemi Awode has spoken about his view of leadership, saying it should be measured by the institutions built, people developed and opportunities created.
Awode, who is associated with the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide, serves as a Senior Special Apostle and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the church’s Ayo Ni O organisation.
Awode is celebrating his 63rd birthday on September 7, 2026. He was born in Lagos on September 7, 1963, and was raised in a Christian family.
His father, Dr Dickson Adekunle Awode, was associated with the Cherubim and Seraphim tradition.
His activities over the years have included participation in church-related projects and a pilgrimage to Israel in 2023, when he travelled with a group of more than 75 people.
Awode also received the Lagos State Man of the Year Award in 2021 after polling 6,122 votes.
Speaking on his approach to leadership, Awode said: “Leadership is not only about position. It is about the institutions you build, the people you develop and the opportunities you create.”
His involvement in the church has included activities around the Galilee International Headquarters, where projects such as a nursery and primary school and staff quarters have been undertaken.
The 2023 Israel pilgrimage was also among the activities linked to his religious involvement.
Awode’s career has involved the manufacturing sector alongside his activities within the church and community.
