This is a testament to the excellent spirit embedded in Ayinke, who was the only woman honoured at the international event that had several dignitaries from different walks of life.

Ayinke, a top player in the international engineering industry, has over the years gained the trust of influential personalities in society due to her professionalism and efficiency in delivering mind-blowing projects through her engineering company.

As one of the few women in the industry, Ayinke has not only made a name for herself but has created a path for the female gender hoping to choose a career in engineering, while simultaneously eradicating gender discrimination in the field. Indeed, Ayinke’s achievements so far are a leveler for both genders in the engineering industry.

While speaking about her award at LWB, Ayinke expressed profound gratitude and happiness at the recognition given to her at the international event, stating that she has been recognized as a major stakeholder in the world.

She also urged every girl child in the world to stay motivated and never relent from pursuing their dreams no matter the obstacles before them.

‘’Dear Nigerians, My Dearest Ondo State Family, My Arigidi Akoko families. I present to you your Daughter, the Power House of Nigeria, the only woman standing among the great men of each flag behind me; Nigeria, America, Ghana, Zimbabwe, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, etc, at the Leadership International Honour 2023 in the United Kingdom,’ she said.

‘’I am not the same woman that left Nigeria for this event because it was an amazing one filled with great experiences, great impact and knowledge. A seven-hour lecture on leadership skills, entrepreneur skills, creating an environment for trade and investment Opportunities. A networking center for businesses to connect globally whilst encouraging global partnership and Cross Border alliances.’

‘’It is indeed a global investment opportunity and development for stakeholders across borders. Your daughter is internationally recognized as one of the stakeholders in the world. Special thanks to the Honourable Minister for Budget and National for State, Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Hon. Prince Clem Ikanada Agba for representing the country at the event.’’
