President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Cadbury Nigeria, Bunmi Oni, on his 70th birthday, on September 7.
In a statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President said he joins family, friends, colleagues, and associates of the celebrant in thanking God Almighty “for preserving this distinguished figure who continues to make an indelible mark on the corporate landscape of Nigeria, and society at large.”
President Tinubu noted that Oni’s impressive 29-year corporate career, culminating in 11 years as the CEO of Cadbury Nigeria Plc, stands as a testament to his exemplary leadership, innovative thinking, and unwavering dedication.
He acknowledged Oni’s dynamic and versatile capabilities, which were evidenced through his diverse roles in various board-level executive positions across several departments, including Technical Support, Supply Chain, Human Resources, Sales and Marketing, and Corporate Planning.
President Tinubu recalled that during his tenure as CEO, Oni concurrently oversaw the West Africa operations of the company for five years, contributing significantly to its expansion and establishment in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire.
“His exceptional leadership was recognized when he was voted Nigeria’s Most Respected CEO in 2005,” he said.
As family and friends honour Oni on his birthday, the President extended his best wishes for his continued health and happiness, eagerly anticipating the inspiring chapters he will continue to write in the book of life.
