Industrialising Nigeria: It is time for cross-pollination, not cross-purposes On Kindly Share This Story: From left— First Vice President, Dr. Ije Jidenma; President and Chairman Governing Council, Chief Chris Okunowo, both of the Institute of Directors of Nigeria; Chairman, BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu; Chairman, Fellows and Awards Committee/past President, Thomas Awagu, and the immediate past President, Alhaji Ahmed Mohammed, both of the Institute, at the conferment of a Fellowship of the Institute on Abdul Samad Rabiu in Lagos. By ABDUL SAMAD RABIU I WOULD like to thank the Institute of Directors Nigeria for deeming it fit to admit me as a Fellow of this esteemed institution. It is indeed a great honour. I remember when I was invited last year as a special guest of honour during the 2019 IOD Dinner; I announced that BUA Cement was preparing to list on the NSE.
