Akure, Ondo State — In a resplendent atmosphere where excellence, leadership, and innovation converged, the Chartered Institute of Information and Strategy Management (CIISM) conferred one of its most prestigious honors on His Excellency, Governor Lucky Orimisan Ayiedatiwa, bestowing upon him the Distinguished Fellowship (DFCISM) and the coveted Award of Exemplary Leadership and Good Governance.
The event, attended by policymakers, corporate executives, academics, and youth leaders, celebrated not just the towering achievements of the Ondo State Governor, but also the surging influence of CIISM as a global hub of intellectual authority, professional strategy, and leadership development.
Ambassador Peter Adelanke Oyintoke, Registrar of the Chartered Institute of Information and Strategy Management (CIISM), who shared the official pictures of the ceremony via the Institute’s verified social media handles, described the investiture as a defining moment in the annals of the Institute. The momentous occasion, held at the Ondo State Government House, was marked with warmth and dignity as Governor Lucky Orimisan Ayiedatiwa, visibly elated, received the Distinguished Fellowship and the Award of Exemplary Leadership and Good Governance amidst applause and celebration.
Governor Ayiedatiwa’s recognition comes as a testament to his administration’s strides in sustainable development, infrastructure renewal, agricultural advancement, quality education, healthcare delivery, economic empowerment, and inclusive governance. In his stewardship, Ondo State has steadily transformed into a model of accountability, transparency, and visionary leadership, reflecting his deep passion for people-driven progress.
The ceremony was more than an award presentation; it was a symbolic affirmation of Governor Lucky Orimisan Ayiedatiwa’s rising national profile and the Chartered Institute of Information and Strategy Management’s growing influence under the dynamic stewardship of Ambassador Peter Adelanke Oyintoke.
As the Governor donned the Distinguished Fellowship with pride, the moment resonated far beyond the walls of the Government House—echoing a call to greater service, deeper accountability, and visionary leadership. For Ondo State, it marked another feather in the cap of a people-driven administration; for CIISM, it underscored its place as a leading institution shaping the future of governance and strategic leadership in Nigeria and across Africa.
Speaking at the colorful investiture, Ambassador Peter Adelanke Oyintoke, Registrar of CIISM, underscored the Institute’s mandate of raising a new cadre of leaders across Africa and beyond—leaders who combine innovation, strategic foresight, and integrity in public and private sectors.
“Governor Ayiedatiwa represents the very values that CIISM stands for,” Ambassador Oyintoke declared with passion. “He is not only a reformer within Ondo State, but a national figure who embodies excellence, accountability, and a people-centered approach to governance. His investiture as Distinguished Fellow is both a recognition and a call to greater heights of service.”
Observers note that under Ambassador Oyintoke’s stewardship, CIISM has experienced an unprecedented growth trajectory. With its focus on strategy, governance, and institutional capacity building, the Institute is increasingly shaping conversations around leadership, corporate governance, and national development. From Abuja to Lagos, and across African capitals, CIISM is carving its place as a beacon of professional advancement and a convener of thought leadership.
For Governor Ayiedatiwa, the honor is a capstone to his rising profile as a reformist governor. His humble yet firm leadership style has not only won him the trust of his constituents but has also positioned Ondo State as a model in governance across Nigeria.
The event closed with thunderous applause as the Governor, now addressed with the distinguished post-nominal DFCISM, pledged to continue working for the progress of Ondo State and to uphold the values of excellence, accountability, and service that the Chartered Institute of Information and Strategy Management represents.
