Simbo Olorunfemi"Simbo Olorunfemi has emerged as one of the most important thought leaders on politics and governance in Nigeria. He has through the years and in very many articles and sundry commentaries, ranging from the economy to development, international relatons and partisan politics, consistently applied rigour, deep thought and scientific discipline to his analysis of the people, the events and the policies that have shaped these issues, and the societies and publics that they impact. I think his strength is in his capacity to take on the big issues, the complex ideas such as ethnicity and cultural politics and also the more retail questions around the daily disputes on rightness or wrongness of government policy or their efficient or sloppy implementation, all with the same clarity of thought and presentation. His projections on political outcomes are eerily accurate, and his prescriptions are practical and clearly thought through, even if controversial"- Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria (2015-2023) Simbo Olorunfemi is the Team Lead at Hoofbeat Dot Com, a Publishing, Strategy, and Communications Consultancy and Managing Editor of Africa Enterprise.A certified Advertising practitioner and Project Manager, he is a member of the Advertising Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON), and the Project Management Institute.
