March 24, (THEWILL)- During the week, President Bola Tinubu appointed Olugbile Holloway as the new Director-General, National Commission for Museums and Monuments, an agency that ensures the preservation, promotion and development of Nigeria’s diverse tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
Besides his current workplace and educational background – a Bachelor of Arts in Politics and International Relations and a master’s degree in business administration, the presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, had nothing else to say about Holloway. Not even his picture was attached to the press statement announcing his appointment.
Holloway began his career in advertising with Image Promotions Nigeria Limited and then moved to Proximity Communications Nigeria, where he worked on campaigns for brands like Cowbell, Top Tea, Onga, and Etisalat. He then continued on to DDB Lagos where he worked as a brand manager on more leading brands such as MTN, Globe Motors, Martel and Exxon Mobil. He currently runs his own show as the Managing Director of Evoke Communications Limited, a creative brand/consultancy agency. Prior to joining the advertising industry, Olugbile worked with the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service, LIRS. He is a sibling to Oladisun Holloway, a former Lagos Commissioner for Tourism and Inter-Governmental Relations, under former governor Babajide Raji Fashola. Olugbile is an ardent polo player and is the honorary secretary of the Lagos Polo Club.
