Peak Performer Recognise SA, OCCE, Titilayo Oshodi, as ‘Admirable Woman in Leadership.
Lagos, November 19th, 2024.
The Peak Performer, one of Nigeria most prestigious strategy and performance management think tank has recognised Mrs. Titilayo Oshodi, Special Adviser to Governor of Lagos State on Climate Change and Circular Economy as an Admirable Woman in Leadership.
According to the organisers, The Peak Performer Awards celebrate individuals and organizations across Africa for transformative achievements, “and Mrs. Oshodi’s recognition underscores her unwavering commitment to economic empowerment, sustainable growth, and community development in Lagos State”, said Abiola Salami, performance strategist and founder of TPP.
According to Salami, Mrs. Oshodi’s exceptional leadership is exemplified through innovative initiatives that deliver far-reaching economic and social impacts. Among these is the ground breaking Eco-Circulate Initiative, a program that redefines waste management by encouraging the reuse of materials and transforming waste into valuable resources. By fostering collaboration with businesses, waste pickers, and local communities, Eco-Circulate has helped develop a robust circular economy in Lagos, leading to job creation, reduced environmental pollution, and a vibrant green sector.
He furthered; “Another pillar of her leadership is the Economy Business Network (EBN), which supports entrepreneurs in the circular economy by providing access to resources and innovative platforms. Through EBN, entrepreneurs across various sectors have repurposed waste into products like textiles, accessories, and home goods, blending economic growth with environmental stewardship. This initiative has fuelled sustainable business models, generated employment, and contributed to broader social and economic progress”.
Responding to the recognition, Mrs Oshodi said it is humbling to be recognised by a prestigious organisation like the TTP.
Mrs. Oshodi’s dedication to inclusivity is also reflected in programs such as Leave No One Behind, a transformative initiative that equips young women exiting correctional centers with skills and opportunities for independent, productive lives. By integrating circular economy principles, this program empowers participants to engage in sustainable waste-to-wealth ecosystems, such as bio-gas waste digesters and waste collection centers, while fostering personal growth and rehabilitation.
Her efforts extend beyond Lagos, aligning closely with global priorities set by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Mrs. Oshodi’s work resonates with goals that promote responsible consumption and production, decent work, economic growth, and social inclusivity. Her initiatives demonstrate how sustainable development is not only about environmental preservation but also about creating equitable opportunities for economic and social advancement.
Through initiatives like Eco-Circulate, EBN, Leave No One Behind, and Charity Begins at Home, Mrs. Oshodi exemplifies the essence of leadership that drives meaningful change. She addresses pressing environmental challenges while empowering communities and creating lasting impact.
The recognition of Mrs. Oshodi as Peak Performer’s Admirable Woman in Leadership is a testament to her innovative and transformative approach to sustainability. Her contributions continue to inspire others, reaffirming the critical role of inclusive economic growth and environmental responsibility in shaping a thriving Lagos.
As we celebrate Mrs. Oshodi’s achievement, we renew our commitment to sustainability, championing a vision where economic empowerment, environmental resilience, and social equity form the bedrock of a better future for all. Her leadership remains a beacon of hope and progress, encouraging collective efforts toward a more sustainable Lagos.
