She is not an indigene of Enugu State and has no filial connections to the state. Adenike Okebu’s only attachment to the south-eastern state is through Governor Peter Mbah, who found the need to tap into her professional acumen in his quest to turn around the fortunes of Enugu State.
To rev up his revenue drive through taxation, Mbah thought it wise to enlist Okebu’s services as one who has a deep understanding of financial intricacies by making her his Senior Special Assistant on Revenue.
The governor became aware of Okebu’s professional competence during her time as the head of the audit unit in his multi billion naira enterprise, Pinnacle Oil and Gas when she performed excellently well and made a good impression on him. She however had to satisfy her craving for a higher professional calling when she moved to Platform Capital Investment Partners as the Group Executive, Internal Audit. Good enough, she kept in touch with Mbah and when he needed someone who could deliver, he simply poached her again.
An indigene of Ogun State, Okebu is a happily married mother of three children. Before Platform Capital and Pinnacle Oil, Adenike has had stints with BUA Group and Deltatek Engineering amongst several others. In her spare time, Nike is also a recording gospel singer.
