By Mike Cerutti Osagie, publisher Richlist  The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation 2026 Public Sector Reform Convening held in Lagos has once again positioned itself as the most important gathering for the future of governance in Nigeria. In a nation where public service reform is often discussed but rarely sustained, this convening brought together reform leaders, alumni of the Foundation's programmes, private sector stakeholders and development partners under one roof to chart a new course for effective service delivery. The significance of this convening lies first in its consistency. Since its establishment by Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Mrs. Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede, the Foundation has moved from rhetoric to action by investing over billions of naira in building the capacity of public servants. This 2026 edition was not just another conference, it was a showcase of results, where alumni who now occupy critical positions across ministries, departments and agencies shared how the trainin...

-
Image
•The Face of Uncommon Loyalty in Power                      • By Mike cerutti  In the complex theatre of Nigerian politics where the relationship between a Governor and his Deputy is often marked by suspicion and rivalry, Rt. Hon. Dr. Peter Odey, Deputy Governor of Cross River State, has chosen a different path — the path of absolute loyalty, humility and purposeful service. For Dr. Odey, deputyship is not a platform for competition but a sacred mandate to strengthen the administration of his principal, His Excellency Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu. This uncommon disposition was once again displayed in his moving 67th birthday tribute to Governor Otu, where he described the Governor as a man who epitomizes intentional leadership, discipline and an uncommon sense of duty. From the hallowed chambers of the Cross River State House of Assembly where he served as Leader of the 9th Assembly to his current position as Deputy Governor,...

Prophetess Roseline Oyeleke......MEET THE WOMAN WHO LIVES BY HELPING THE BLIND PEOPLE

-
Image
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." This quote describes the life of Prophetess Roseline Oyeleke, a woman who has dedicated her entire life to helping blind people in Nigeria. Her calling started with a voice. She said she heard a voice clearly telling her, go and make the blind happy. She asked what will I use to make them happy, and the voice replied, you have what they need. When she asked what they need, the answer was simple, support and caring. At first she disobeyed the voice. She thought it was not her business. But God had a different way of teaching her the assignment, and her life took a dramatic turn that changed everything. She became blind for two full years. For two years she lived in total darkness. She could not see her family, she could not go anywhere on her own, and she had to depend on people for everything. It was in that darkness she finally understood the pain of blind people. When God in His mercy restored her...
