A statement from ITAN said Owolabi will be responsible for the effective day-to-day running of ITAN, and the performance of ITAN businesses, as dictated by the overall strategy agreed by the ITAN National Executive Council.
He will also head the WITSA Secretariat’s Africa Regional office and is tasked with maintaining on-going communication with the WITSA headquarters in Malaysia.
“We are fortunate to have someone of Oluwole’s background and expertise come on board,” said Jimson Olufuye, president of ITAN.
“Oluwole will be a perfect fit for us, as we rapidly grow our association. We plan to establish ITAN Consult (a business arm of ITAN) in the next few months”, said Olufuye.
Oluwole was the chief executive officer/managing director of Accenttech Corporation (United Kingdom) and is a former chairman of ITAN Strategic Initiative Committee.
ITAN is an association of over 350 Information Technology driven companies in Nigeria. It was founded in 1991 to promote IT literacy and penetration in Nigeria, and to promote members’ interest in the area of trade, public policy formulation and negotiations with government on IT policy matters.
