Providence has surely smiled on Dele Alake, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Special Duties, Media and Publicity. While he has been screened by the Senate for a ministerial position, his look alike son, Olatunbosun, who is also the Special Adviser on Innovation and Technology to the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, got an upgrade.
Despite being an indigene of Ekiti State, Olatunbosun Alake is a commissioner nominee in Lagos State. This is more like a re-enactment of the time his father was appointed Commissioner for Information and Strategy when Tinubu was Governor of Lagos State. If he scales the screening hurdle in the state House of Assembly, Sanwo-Olu may likely deploy him to the ministry of Science and Technology so he can deploy his wealth of experience there.
A graduate of Computer and Information Science with a Masters in Business Administration (General Management) from Temple University Philadelphia, USA, the younger Alake is an Information Technology and Business Management Executive with almost 10 years of experience spanning different disciplines within the technology and entertainment space.
The technology enthusiast began building a career path after his return to Nigeria with IPNX Nigeria Limited, a communication firm as the Head, Business Intelligence and Data Analytics. Thereafter, he moved to Film House Cinemas where he was the General Manager, Innovation and Technology from where he caught the attention of Sanwo-Olu and was made a Special Adviser. Olatunbosun who claims to be a born-again Christian is also a board member of Lagos State Science and Research Council.
