The Jumoke Oduwole One - Translating Policy into Progress (Extended Conversation) | One2One (S3 E4)

How do you translate policy into real progress?

In this hugely insightful One2One conversation, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, Honourable Minister of Industry, Trade & Investment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, joins host Tokunbo Shitta-Bey to explore how visionary leadership, discipline, and institutional reform can unlock growth and investment across Africa’s largest economy.

A globally trained scholar of international trade and development, Dr Oduwole reflects on her journey from academia to the heart of public service — leading the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) and now steering national industrial policy at a time of global supply-chain disruption and economic realignment.

Together they discuss how Nigeria can build resilience, attract sustainable investment, and create the conditions for enterprise, innovation, and inclusion — and what personal conviction it takes to drive change and progress from within.
