Edosomwan himself was recently recognized by Forbes Africa as a ‘30 Under 30′ key opinion leader driving the positive change and the advancement of Digital PR & Communications across the continent. Also a UNCTAD ambassador, he is one of the youngest yet most influential PR strategists in the world whose goal has always been to build Africa’s biggest content and technology ecosystem.

When asked about the award, Abugo said: “It is a privilege to be considered a recipient of this award and I believe this honour extends to my company.” His strength as a leader, a team player with good relationship management skills and entrepreneurial spirit amongst many others have helped him play his role well as a COO at Teksight Edge.

Abugo is a graduate of Scientific Management, majoring in Marketing from the University College of Arts & Science, Limassol-Cyprus. He also holds an MBA in Marketing from Lagos State University.

His professional career has seen him journey through the entire Integrated Marketing Communications terrain to include Brand Communications/Management, Brand Strategy and Brand Activation activities amongst others. He has attended related knowledge impacting courses/training programs both locally & internationally on Strategic Management and Effective Marketing/Relationship Management organized by APCON, IDMN & IBMN respectively, alongside a course in Finance for Non-Finance Managers by the prestigious Pan Atlantic University (LBS).

In the cause of acquiring hands-on experience, he has been part of the team that have managed some exciting local and multi-national brands in the Financial, Telecommunications, Health/Pharmaceuticals, Oil & Gas, FMCG and the Automobile industry.

He is a Faculty at the African Marketing Business School (AMBS) a Marketing Business School established by the Institute of Director of Nigeria.

As Abugo aims to do more in his company and the PR/Marketing Communications world at large, he emphasizes that his immediate and long term goals for Teksight Edge would be to grow the company’s business portfolio through diversification into other relevant sectors of the economy like the Agricultural, Fintech, FMCGs, etc. These afore-stated sectors, from established
sources would be the drivers of the Nigerian and indeed the African Continent’s economy and the Human capacity available to the Agency would require constant need-based training, complemented by the application of updated and strategic technological tools, especially the use of Data to accomplish this set goals, thereby affecting the Agency’s financial base positively.

It is good to see Nigerians like Abugo making effort and getting global recognition. We hope that other professionals continue in this thread and in no time Nigeria would gain stance as one of the Leading Countries in the world.
