The Association of Advertising Agencies of Nigeria (AAAN) has commended the federal government for appointing Dr. Olalekan Fadolapo as Registrar /Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON).

Fadolapo is one of the nine CEOs recently appointed by President Muhammad Buhari.

The statement quoted the AAAN President, Mr. Steve Babaeko, as describing the appointment as the right move in the right direction.

According to Babaeko, the new appointee is coming with vast experience and rich background as the executive director, AAAN, and member of the immediate past APCON Governing Council.

“The appointment of Fadolapo could not have come at a more appropriate time, as efforts are being made to reconstitute the APCON Council as well as reposition the Advertising Industry. As an experienced and competent advertising practitioner with over two decades in the industry, we have utmost confidence that under his leadership, APCON will strive to much greater heights and achievements,” Babaeko said.

It also quoted the association’s Vice President/Chairman, Government Relations Committee, Mr. Jenkins Alumona, as saying the choice of Fadolapo is an indication that the federal government is attentive to the needs of the industry and willing to collaborate with practitioners on making meaningful impact.
