Chief Idris Olorunnimbe, Founder and Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of The Temple Company, has resigned his position following a decision taken some time ago. His resignation came on the heels of his appointment by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in fulfillment of statutory obligations stipulated by the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA).
Chief Olorunnimbe will also be fully engaged in managing his other interests that span advisory and investments in various sectors of the economy.
The leadership transition coincided with the celebration of its 10th anniversary, as the organisation named Terfa Tilley-Gyado to lead its next phase of expansion and impact. A former Executive Director, Tilley-Gyado brings extensive experience to his new role as President of The Temple Company Group.
Speaking on the new direction, Tilley-Gyado said: “We commend our visionary founder for laying the building blocks that will help me and my team propel this organisation to the next level. Our partners can be assured of a renewed commitment to push the boundaries of African excellence through the creative industry.”
Under Chief Olorunnimbe’s leadership, The Temple Company evolved from a full-service talent management firm founded in 2016 into a multi-vertical creative powerhouse with reach well beyond Nigeria’s borders. That growth gave rise to a world-class production infrastructure in Ogidi Studios, as well as TMPL Motion Pictures and H&T Agency, among others.
As part of the reorganisation, The Temple Company announced the elevation of several executives into its senior management team which includes:
● Yemisi Falaye – Vice President, Legal and Learning
● Kolawole Fashola – Vice President, Operations and Tech
● Femi Salawu – Vice President, Influence and Reputation
● Adedamilola Adedotun – Vice President, Ventures and Sports
● Oladoyin Bakare – Vice President, People and Partnerships
The Temple Company is a full-service creative firm incorporated in Nigeria, operating across entertainment, sports, media and the arts. Using a 360-degree approach to talent management, the company oversees the day-to-day business affairs of creative talents and ensures they maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. With an ambition that operates on a global scale, The Temple Company is committed to elevating African content, bridging the gap between local talents and their international counterparts, and ensuring all processes meet international best practice standards.
