Dr. Adebowale “Debo” Akande stands tall as a thinker of rare depth, an insightful leader, a good man and a resourceful eagle whose vision continues to redefine agribusiness and economic development in Nigeria.
Renowned for his strategic intellect and practical approach, Dr. Akande has consistently championed Agribusiness as a powerful catalyst for industrialization, job creation, and sustainable wealth generation.
His work reflects a deep understanding of the value chain—from production to processing, value addition, and market access—anchoring Agriculture as a business rather than subsistence. Through innovative policies, institutional reforms, and partnerships, he has inspired confidence among farmers, investors, and young entrepreneurs, positioning Agribusiness as a viable engine for inclusive growth.
Dr. Akande’s advocacy for industrialization-led economic transformation underscores his belief that prosperity lies in linking Agriculture to industry, technology, and global markets. Calm, visionary, and results-driven, he embodies leadership with impact—one that empowers people, strengthens institutions, and delivers measurable outcomes.
Today, we celebrate not just a man, but a mission: a relentless pursuit of economic transformation through Agribusiness excellence. The Phenomenal Dr Debo Akande DBA CMGR FCMI, the dynamic Director-General of OYSADA and Executive Adviser on Agribusiness and International Cooperation and Development, continues to demonstrate visionary leadership anchored on inclusive economic growth through Agribusiness.
