Taopheek Babayeju, entrepreneur, transformation strategist, and CEO of iCentra, has continued to champion the transformation of Africa’s public sector, emphasizing its critical role in enabling sustainable development, inclusive growth, and institutional resilience.
Across multiple media platforms, Babayeju highlighted that effective public institutions are the backbone of national competitiveness and long-term prosperity. Drawing on over 25 years of experience spanning private, public, and non-profit sectors, he advocates for reforms rooted in innovation, governance modernization, and people-centric delivery models.
He emphasized that public sector transformation goes beyond operational efficiency; it is fundamentally about building trust, improving service delivery, and enabling societal progress.
“Innovation in the public sector is not just about efficiency; it is about building trust, driving inclusive growth, and ensuring no one is left behind.”
Through iCentra’s work, major initiatives have included enterprise programme management systems, ISO-aligned governance frameworks, institutional capacity building, and technology modernization across public institutions in Africa.
Babayeju continues to position transformation not as a project, but as an organizational capability, aligning strategy, execution, governance, and workforce capability to achieve lasting impact.
