From Titans of Africa, honour for Ooni, Akintayo, others

The just concluded Titans Of Africa Awards, which held recently in Dubai, honoured a number of African Icons, including the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ọjájá II), Founder and Group Managing Director of Gtext Holdings and Global Wealth Festival convener, Dr. Stephen Akintayo and others, for their impacts in paving way for future positive images and accounts within their community and industry.

Akintayo, who runs Gtext Holdings, a conglomerate with offices across four continents, has in the last decade recorded strides in real estate, agriculture, media production, digital marketing, e-commerce, logistics, investment, and advisory consulting.

Speaking during the Titans of Africa Award ceremony, Akintayo, who is also a member of Forbes Business Council, expressed joy in being part of the 50 individuals of direct African descent currently making an impact and are celebrated.

He, however, said African needs to be celebrated even more, as the continent has contributed so much to the sustainability of the world, with a lot of great entrepreneurs

“More giants are rising, and I want to thank the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the support for African entrepreneurs, and we hope the relationship continues even bigger and better.”

Titans of Africa is an initiative of the UAE AFRICA Networking Group, a coffee-table book that captures the journey to Titian-ship of 50 individuals of direct African descent. It features stories of failures and triumphs through lessons learned from these 50 direct African descent individuals.
