They shared a moment captured in photos, which Mr. Akosile posted on Instagram. In his post, he encouraged her to excel in her new role and bring pride to Lagos.
“Just ran into my dear sister, Bisoye Coker-Odusote, the newly appointed Director-General of the National Identity Management Commission at the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport. Congratulations again my sister. Go and deliver to make us proud,” he wrote.
Akosile thanked President Bola Tinubu “for recognizing and trusting talented young Nigerians with positions of power.”
Until her appointment at NIMC, Coker-Odusote was general manager and CEO of the Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA).
