Chief Oluremi Olowu at 80: Nigeria’s Pioneer NEMA Director-General and Her Remarkable Legacy. What does it take to turn an emergency relief agency into an institution built to save lives? For Chief (Mrs.) Oluremi Olowu, it meant bringing legal expertise, decisive leadership and accountability to some of Nigeria’s most difficult moments. From helping shape Nigeria’s aviation laws to transforming NERA into NEMA, responding to the Kano floods and the Ikeja explosion, her career was defined by service when it mattered most. At 80, we celebrate an Akinkanju whose work helped strengthen institutions and serve Nigerians in moments of crisis. Read the full article here: bit.ly/oluremiolowu @nemanigeria
