Dr Josephine Awosika, the Chairperson of Access Bank, has been made the honorary consul to Czech Republic Consulate in Lagos State. The businesswoman who is the daughter of the first Minister of Finance in the First Republic who was assassinated in Nigeria in a military coup, the late Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, was honoured in recognition of her enviable attainments on the many platforms she has graced.
She was conferred with the esteemed title during the official opening of Czech Republic Consulate in Lagos State. Her new role as the honorary consul to Czech Consulate in Lagos will build stronger ties and reconstruct the boundaries of the two countries and further open a new value frontier between Nigeria and Czech Republic.
Awosika has sustained her father’s legacies and interest in the country over the years. She has a stint in the Federal Civil Service which saw her rise through the ranks to the zenith of her career where she was appointed Permanent Secretary in three ministries that include Internal Affairs, Science & Technology, and Power, she later became the chairperson of Access Bank. The event was attended by dignitaries across Nigeria which is a testament to Awosika’s pedigree as a diligent woman and a person of honourable and humble character.
