Honored & Humbled: A Night of Surprises and Gratitude.
Arriving back in Nigeria to celebrate iCentra’s 15th anniversary, I had no idea I was set up for one of the most profound surprises of my life—a surprise dinner to honor me and celebrate the Project Management Institute Person of the Year Award.
The event took place on Tuesday, October 22nd, at the Yar’Adua Center, organized by dear friends, family, colleagues, and so many incredible people from across my journey. It was overwhelming and deeply humbling to be surrounded by those who have been such an essential part of my life: family, friends, mentors, PMI Nigeria Chapter members, clients, my iCentra colleagues past and present, board members, LeadPreneur family, and other communities who have shared in the vision and milestones along the way. Some even traveled from all parts of Nigeria to be there.
What touched me the most was realizing that every detail of this celebration was organized behind my back, with each person contributing their money, time, ideas, and love to make it happen. The highlight of the night was a moving documentary about my journey—an honest, sometimes surprising reflection featuring people from every chapter of my life and career. Seeing myself through their eyes, with all the different perspectives they shared, left me at a loss for words.
Thank you to everyone who came together to create this moment and to everyone who has been part of this journey. It truly takes a village to raise a child: I am community-made.
I am humbled, grateful, and more motivated than ever to continue on this path of transformation and impact.
