The immediate past acting Registrar/Chief Executive Officer of Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria, APCON Mrs. Ijedi Iyoha, has expressed confident on the capacity of the newly appointed Registrar/CEO of APCON, Dr. Olalekan Olumuyiwa Fadolapo to excel on his position.
She expressed this after the new Registrar was announced by the ministry of information and culture in Abuja a couple of months ago.
Mrs. Iyoha said “Dr. Fadolapo has for many years been of valuable support to APCON and to the advertising industry in general. I am confident that he will excel in his new role. He has in the past worked in various capacities for APCON and has never performed below expectations in any of the duties he has been part of. We are exceedingly delighted that he was found worthy to be appointed the Registrar. He is going to get outstanding support from APCON and advertising stakeholders.”
Describing her time as acting registrar/CEO, Mrs. Iyoha said, “It has been a worthwhile experience for me to act on that capacity. The industry is a vast and interesting sector of the economy with peculiar challenges. I will adjudge my tenure as a successful one.”

Reacting to the appointment of the Dr. Fadolapo, the immediate past acting registrar stated that “Being the most senior officer in APCON I was appointed to act in the capacity of overseeing the affairs of APCON pending the appointment of a substantive Registrar. It naturally follows that I will revert and continue in the position I was prior to that appointment. I am a career officer,” she enthused..
When asked, if given an opportunity again and what she will love to improve upon, she said, “I will continue to build and improve on the works I have done with my team.”
