Yes, dark and dazzling super woman, Mo Abudu makes history every hour, to which she industriously adds page after page, volume after volume, as if nature were holding up a monument to her exploits. In an era beleaguered by infamy of the human species, Abudu’s handiwork unfurl as undying tribute to mankind’s better nature.
Mo’s charm strikes at first sight, but it is her merit that wins the soul. Whether at work or at play, Mo applies herself diligently like one who understands that the best prize life offers is the chance to work hard and excel at work worth doing.
Spurred by untiring passion to assert herself and establish her ingenuity at work, she has won many souls over and has had even her most ardent critics eating from her palms. Little wonder the Governing Council of the Institute of Directors Nigeria (IoDN), yesterday evening awarded Mo Abudu, The Fellowship Award of the Institute of Directors as well as the 2017 ‘IoD Entrepreneurial Award’.
This is the first time in the history of the Institute that anyone has been awarded two awards in the same year. The announcement was made yesterday evening at the exclusive IoD Annual Directors Dinner & Dance at The Eko Hotels & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The IoD Entrepreneurial Award is awarded to the entrepreneur, who has shown outstanding business acumen, leadership and demonstrated outstanding results in a company which have displayed great potential to become successful players in the local and international market place over the past few years.
During her acceptance speech, Mo Abudu said ‘It is indeed an honour to be part of an elite group of business innovators and game changers. Tonight, we celebrate entrepreneurs – the backbone of our economic prosperity and growth. When we started EbonyLife TV & Films, it was our goal to inspire the next generation of visionaries and this honour is testament that you can achieve your goals with resilience, a positive outlook and a ‘can-do’ attitude.’
This honour comes on the eve of The Grand World Premiere of ‘The Wedding Party 2: Destination Dubai’ which will take place on December 10, at Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos. Tickets for the event are still in high-demand, despite having being sold-out a month before the date.
Other winners on the night included former Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi and President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote.
