The Association of Advertising Agencies of Nigeria (AAAN) is undergoing a transformative change with a significant reshaping of its Board of Trustees. This marks the culmination of an era led by the visionary Steve Omofajor, who has played a pivotal role in steering the association toward growth. Udeme Ufot, an industry legend, now assumes the role of Chairman, joined by other distinguished professionals as members.
The newly appointed members include Mrs. Omowunmi Owodunni, Mr. Kelechi Nwosu, and Mr. Funmi Onabolu. Additionally, the return of Mr. Lolu Akinwunmi to the Board of Trustees is a welcomed development, given his wealth of knowledge and experience as a former President of AAAN and APCON Chairman. In a statement released by the association’s President, Mr. Steve Babaeko, it was announced that Sir Omojafor’s successful tenure has concluded, paving the way for the ratification by the AAAN Executive Board of a new leadership under the chairmanship of Mr. Udeme Ufot (MFR).
The statement reads: “I am pleased to announce that, following the successful tenure of the Board of Trustees led by Sir Steve Omojafor and subsequent ratification by the Association of Advertising Agencies of Nigeria (AAAN) Executive Board, Mr. Udeme Ufot (MFR) has been unanimously chosen by the BOT and EXCO to usher in a new era as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. With his notable experience as a former President and APCON Chairman, Mr. Ufot has been a steadfast supporter of the Association, and we are confident that his leadership will bring progress and development. Join me in extending heartfelt congratulations to him.”
Having previously served as President of AAAN and Chairman of the Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON), Udeme is expected to bring over 30 years of experience and invaluable perspective that will guide the association into a new era of progress and advancement.
Board of Trustees is anticipated to offer strategic guidance and mentorship to the leadership of the association, playing a pivotal role in navigating the association toward its upcoming initiatives and future endeavours.
Founded in 1973, the AAAN is a professional body representing advertising agencies in Nigeria. It serves as a platform for collaboration, advocacy, and the promotion of industry standards within Nigeria’s advertising sector.
