WORLD INDUSTRY LEADERS

The Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has delivered a direct message to Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, urging her to take a stronger stance in advocating for women and youths. The cleric made the remarks during a prophetic session shared on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, where he addressed issues around women’s political inclusion and empowerment. Speaking pointedly to the First Lady, Ayodele stated that more needs to be done to push for women’s participation in politics and governance. “This advice is for Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu. You have not advocated for women. And you need women that will vote for your government,” he said. His words reflect a concern that women remain underrepresented despite their numerical strength in the electorate. The cleric went further to accuse the First Lady of being selfish in her approach. “Mama Tinubu, don’t like me. You are selfish. Mama Tinubu, you are selfish. You only use yours...

By Mike Cerutti publisher Richlist Int Director General Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority NCAA,Capt. Chris Ona Najomo, JP, has steered the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority into a period of deliberate reform since taking charge as Director General. His focus has been on aligning the agency with international standards while addressing long-standing operational bottlenecks. The shift reflects a move from reactive regulation to a proactive system built on digital infrastructure, transparency, and investor confidence. One of the clearest signals of this change is the rollout of the Modern Personnel Licensing and Certification platform. Unveiled in Lagos, the digital system replaces manual and semi-automated workflows with a unified process for licensing and medical certification. For aviation professionals, it means faster processing, better traceability, and compliance with ICAO requirements for real-time verification and audit integrity. Najomo has argued that aviation safety and security...

When the new firefighting truck rolled into the NDDC headquarters in Port Harcourt last week, it looked out of place among the usual fleet of official vehicles. But for staff and visitors who know the risks of working in a busy, high-traffic complex, the sight felt less like ceremony and more like common sense. The truck, handed over to the Department of Health, Safety and Environment, is the latest practical move by Managing Director and CEO Dr. Samuel Ogbuku to make safety a visible part of the commission’s work. Represented at the event by Director of Administration and Human Resources Kelechi Nwelue, Ogbuku said the goal is simple: the NDDC should be able to protect its own premises and respond quickly when fire threatens nearby communities. It’s a small story in hardware terms, but it fits a larger pattern. Since taking charge, Ogbuku has been pushing the idea that development is not only about roads and scholarships—it’s about protecting lives and making sure systems actually wor...

DELTA NORTH— Senator Ned Nwoko says the future of Delta North depends less on political slogans and more on steady, unbroken service. Speaking on his vision for the district, he framed representation as a duty carried into every debate, motion, and decision at the National Assembly.  “My job is to carry the aspirations, hopes, and future of Delta North into every room where policy is shaped,” Nwoko said. For him, each intervention at the Senate is measured by one standard: does it deliver tangible progress for Anioma people? That standard, he explained, has guided his work since assuming office. From pushing for the creation of Anioma State to sponsoring bills and interventions in youth empowerment, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and agriculture, the senator insists the mission has never shifted.  “Effective representation means more than speaking. It means making sure projects start, continue, and finish in the communities that need them,” he said. According to Nwoko,...

       • By Mike Cerutti publisher Richlist Int  Human Right activist's, clergyman and humanitarian,Hon. Dr. E. Agbodo has spoken candidly on his vision for Nigeria’s presidency as the 2027 general elections draw closer, weighing whether he should contest under the 2027 AGBODO SOLIDARITY SUPPORT ORGANISATION. He said Nigerians are passing through trying times globally, from economic readjustment at home to stringent visa rules in the U.S. and xenophobic attacks in South Africa, but urged citizens to seize the opportunities within these challenges rather than dwell in despair. His assurance remains that Nigeria is only passing through a phase and will eventually rise as a fully developed nation. Agbodo emphasized that election season should be a platform for presenting ideas that can improve the lives of the people, regardless of whether they are accepted or rejected. For him, contesting is not only about winning but about injecting fresh perspectives into govern...

    • By Mike Cerutti publisher Richlist Int. Primate Elijah Ayodele has publicly dared former Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, to win the Oyo State governorship election without consulting him. The cleric made the statement in a virile video that has been circulating online, where he spoke directly to Adelabu and his political ambitions. In the video, Primate Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, declared that Adelabu’s governorship bid would remain unfulfilled unless he sought spiritual direction. He insisted that God had already revealed the direction of Oyo’s leadership and that ignoring divine counsel would only lead to repeated disappointment for the former minister. The primate recalled that he had previously given Adelabu prophetic guidance ahead of past elections, which he claimed the politician disregarded to his detriment. Ayodele stressed that the same pattern would continue if Adelabu relied solely on political strategy and financial strength w...

" The Enchanting City of Rome was not built overnight"- Italian proverb  He woke up today and first thing he did was say Thank You God. That is the daily habit of Prince Abayomi Alao, the Jos-born business magnate and Chairman of Maria Hotel and Maria’s Suites. Despite his status in Nigeria’s hospitality sector, the respected hotelier says gratitude remains his first assignment every morning before business, calls, or meetings begin. Prince Abayomi in an exclusive interview with Richlist International magazine recalls that he was born with no silver spoon but he had a dream of opening a hotel in Jos. After his secondary school at Gyel Commercial College in Bukuru, he travelled to London. Yet, unlike many of his peers, he never wanted to live there permanently. The pull of home and the vision to build something in his city kept driving him back to Nigeria. Today, that dream is a living testimony. Prince Abayomi is happy how God blessed him with two big hotels in Jos and Abuja,...
