A pioneer staff of Globacom, Bode Opeseitan, who resigned in July 2017, is now back in the fold as Director, External Communications and PR.

Opeseitan, a seasoned journalist, is one in a long line of ex-staff of the telecommunications company to return after seeking greener pastures elsewhere.

He said of his return: “Dr. Adenuga treated me more like his son than an employee. When I wanted to leave Globacom last year to run a family business, Chairman was displeased. Somehow, he felt I would stay with the business longer.”

According to him, “Almost one year later, Dr Adenuga reached out to me and said the unthinkable. One of Africa’s richest men apologized for the way the system took my decision to leave. He painted my modest contributions glowingly and asked me to return if I wished. I deeply expressed my gratitude to him for his support over the years.”

A Fellow of the World Press Institute in Macalester College, Minnesota, USA; Poynter Institute, Florida, USA; and Reuters Foundation, UK, Opeseitan worked at African Newspapers of Nigeria Plc for eight years, rising to the post of editor, Tribune on Saturday.

After leaving Globacom, he set up SA&B Mega Resources Limited, a fully integrated African marketing communications company.
