Abiodun Atobatele Making Loud Impact

-

If in the space of a few years, Abiodun Atobatele becomes a household name in Nigeria, and every sharp boy wants to be him – the same way “Papillo’ was the dream of many teenagers and growing adolescent­s, it must be noted that Abiodun is more brainiac than baller and that his fortune and regard come from solving the problems of society and being an upstanding fellow.

Abiodun Atobatele is on the path of attaining the kind of heights that would rattle the society, the kind of accomplish­ment that would redefine pillars of the Nigerian youth, the Nigerian dream of success, how to go about being a wunderkind, and what history books will say of the revolution of informatio­n and communicat­ions technology (ICT) in Nigeria.

To be sure, Mr. Abiodun is a high achiever with almost two adventurou­s decades of experience managing IT platforms, and working with several organizati­ons including Leadway Assurance and First Bank of Nigeria. To say that Abiodun has led various teams on IT projects in the financial, manufactur­ing and public sectors – to mention a few – is to call a spade a spoon. Although Oga Abiodun is the CEO of ATB Techsoft Solutions Limited, his sojourn in the IT sector marks him out like a shark in the deepest waters.

In his own words, the products of his company will be of value to every organisati­on in every sector of the Nigerian economy and even in the global economy – from insurance to other financial services and education, manufactur­ing and all other sectors. And the scope of Abiodun extends beyond Africa, an innovative business venture that – when it has fully taken root – will launch a new and relevant product every year.

More than his larger-than-life brain and industry, Abiodun has also affected the up and ups of Nigerian high society enough to have them present at his feet. The best example for this is the giddy warmth that certain top company of Nigerian bests brought to his 40th birthday party.

Such bosses include the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo CFR, Okukenu IV, and Olori (Dr) Tokunbo. This is not including the former Sports Commission­er, Ozogula Bukola Olopade, among others.

With an LLB Law from Manchester Law School, UK, and his participat­ion in workshops and conference­s in Germany, India, USA, UK, and all over, Mr, Abiodun’s visionary path is set to clear a path in industry and leadership, both at home and abroad.
