In his acceptance speech, Popoola, thanked the institute’s board of fellows and the full council members for the great honour, and pledged to continue to uphold the institute’s core values. “I am extremely delighted because I am emotionally connected to this market and I am grateful for the support received from CIS since I became the CEO of NGX.
