Kayode Opeifa
As someone I have known since our days in Chicago, Opeifa has remained true to himself and his friends.”
He praised Opeifa for his rare combination of ordinariness and brilliance, noting that despite holding significant positions in both state and federal government over the years, Opeifa has remained humble and approachable.
Odere wrote, “Blunt and down-to-earth, Opeifa has no air, which is quite unexpected, if not unusual, for someone who has been in the power loop for decades in the Nigerian political clime.”
He highlighted Opeifa’s unique ability to connect with people on a personal level.
According to Odere, Opeifa is the type of leader who makes time for others, always ready to pick up calls, listen attentively, and offer candid advice. Even when unavailable, Opeifa ensures he returns calls, and if he doesn’t have answers, he connects people with those who do.
Odere remarked on how Opeifa’s networking skills and genuine care for others leave a lasting impression.
“He makes you feel important with the way he converses with you. And that makes all the difference,” he added.
The appointment of Kayode Opeifa as MD of the Nigeria Railway Corporation is expected to bring a wealth of experience, innovation, and leadership to the role, given his track record of service and dedication.
Concluding his post, Odere wrote, “Congratulations, Aburo! Your humility, dedication, and genuine care for others continue to inspire all who know you. May your new role bring transformative change and reinforce the values you’ve always stood for.”
