In her words, Akakabota writes, “I am incredibly honoured to have received the Outstanding HR Contribution Award at the HR Expo Africa Work Festival 2025 HREA Events In HR, we give so much of ourselves—pouring into others, building people up, creating systems that serve, and holding space for growth, change, and even pain.”
She said, “We learn, we stretch, we push, and we lift others as we rise. And most times, we do it quietly, without expecting applause. But every now and then, someone sees you. They see the effort, the late nights, the difficult decisions, the passion behind the policies, the heart behind the hard work. This award is that moment for me. I’m deeply grateful to HR Expo Africa Erefa Fynecontry for this incredible honour. To be seen and celebrated among such powerful minds in our field—it means more than words can say.
To her the award is special, adding ,”What made it even more special? I was presented this award by Taiwo ‘Dayo-Abatan FCIPM , a force in HR and someone I’m proud to call my mentor. If you know her, you know the depth of that moment. To every HR professional out there who is doing the work, shaping lives, and standing strong behind the scenes—keep going. You matter more than you know.”
