Adesua Dozie, the quintessential trailblazer has emerged as Exxon Mobil’s first female Vice Chairman of the Boards of Exon Mobile Affiliate, which includes Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPN) and Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria Limited (EEPNL) in the company’s 70 years of operation. She shared the rare recognition on her LinkedIn handle, noting that her appointment as Vice Chairman of Exxon Mobil Affiliated in Nigeria has truly been a humbling experience.
”I couldn’t be more grateful to those who have expressed their words of prayer, support and congratulations – both privately and publicly. Your support really means a lot and I appreciate all the messages and well wishes. Throughout my life I have been the beneficiary of support and mentorship from an array of incredible men & women who’ve dedicated time and energy to nurturing me; guiding me when I was unsure which path to take, praising me when I had done a good job. They saw a spark in me and took time to help me develop in my career. These are qualities I have tried to match in my own life and this accolade is also shared with all those who have played a part in this achievement. It takes a village. Thank you.
“I will also take this moment to thank all my colleagues and leaders at work; my beautiful and supportive family and friends; and of course God – who has been loving, guiding and consistent always. ALL Glory to God without whom nothing is possible.”
Expressing his confidence on Dozie’s result-oriented capabilities, Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State congratulated Mrs Dozie through his write-up on his Twitter handle.
