The investment arm of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Abuja Investments Company Limited, has commemorated its 30th anniversary with an event held at its headquarters in Abuja, highlighting key institutional milestones and leadership transitions over the years.

The gathering, themed “A Legacy of Smart Investments”, also marked one year since Ambassador Maureen Tamuno assumed office as the first female Group Managing Director of the company — an appointment staff described as a notable shift in AICL’s leadership history.

According to a statement released on Saturday by the Acting Head of Communications, Fatima Nadada, the Chief Investment Officer of AICL, Abiodun Akanbi, thanked Tamuno for her exceptional leadership and vision, which have been instrumental in shaping the company’s investment strategies and driving its growth and success.

He highlighted her achievements in the last one year in office to include spearheading the successful implementation of the AICL Group structure after 12 years of pending approval without implementation.

He said, “Under the visionary leadership of Ambassador Maureen Tamuno, Abuja Investments Company Limited (AICL) has made significant strides across various sectors, from operational efficiency and technological innovation to community development and financial growth.

“These short-term achievements demonstrate AICL’s commitment to becoming a leading force in infrastructure, technology, and agriculture.”

The President of Staff Union, Isah Bawa, applauded the GMD’s leadership skills, vision, and dedication to the company’s growth and development.

While lauding her efforts in promoting a positive work environment and fostering a sense of unity among staff members, he expressed optimism that her leadership would continue to yield positive outcomes for the company and its stakeholders.

Responding, Tamuno thanked the company’s management, staff, and stakeholders for the warm reception and celebration, saying it was a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication.

She also acknowledged the support of her principal and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

She pledged to continue working tirelessly to drive the company’s growth and success, while also promoting a culture of excellence and innovation.

“It’s been 30 years of progress, 30 years of transformation, 30 years of wealth creation, 30 years of infrastructural development, 30 years of diversification, 30 years of building a very unique brand, a brand that will be sustainable, a brand that will stand the test of time for the future generation, a brand that is ready and open for public private partnership, a brand that is dedicated to ensuring that your wealth is sustained, that your wealth is secured, and of course, your wealth is the one that will grow,” she said.

The event’s highlight was the presentation of awards to outstanding staff members who demonstrated exceptional performance, as well as the recognition of employees who have served the company for an extended period with long-service awards.
