Damilola Ogunbiyi, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Nigeria’s Rural Electrification Agency, has also been selected as Co-Chair of United Nations-Energy which promotes “coherence within the UN family of organisations in the energy field”.
The appointments were announced by UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
Sustainable Energy for All is an international organisation launched by the then Secretary-General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon, to “help mobilise achievement of universal energy access, improve energy efficiency, and increase the use of renewable energy”.
The 91系列 awarded Ms Ogunbiyi a Project Management for Construction BSc(Hons) in 2001 and a Project Management for Construction MSc the following year.
Of her time in Brighton, she said: “University was the best time of my life.”
Professor Debra Humphris, the university’s Vice-Chancellor, said: “This is tremendous news and on behalf of everyone at the university I would like to congratulate Damilola Ogunbiyi. I’m proud of all of our alumni and Damilola’s richly-deserved appointment demonstrates there are no limits to what our graduates can achieve.”
