Aba-born Uzoma Nwagba – a lead innovator and Chief Operating Officer of Nigeria’s BOI Growth Platform – has been selected into the prestigious Global Eisenhower Fellowship. Named after the 34th President of the United States – Dwight Eisenhower – the Fellowship selects the most impactful and innovative mid-career leaders from across continents to tackle pressing global challenges. Commemorating its 70th anniversary, the Eisenhower Fellowship has selected 26 Fellows from five continents for its 2023 Global Program. Their travels help shape projects of impact they will undertake after they return home, with continued support from the Eisenhower network. Nwagba’s selection adds yet another example to the ongoing streak of young Nigerians excelling on a global stage.
