Episode 48 - Bukola Olopade, CEO of Nilayo Sports Management Limited & Access Bank Lagos City Marathon. - a podcast by Mass Participation World

On  today's edition of The Aid Station we travel to Lagos, Nigeria to meet  Bukola Olopade, CEO of Nilayo Sports Management Limited & Access  Bank Lagos City Marathon.



He  shares the extreme challenges of life for people in Nigeria under the  COVID-19 including his own hospitalisation for three weeks with the  virus. "Many people in Nigeria live from hand to mouth so if they do not  work there is no money to make their soup at night."



"The  heroes for me are the doctors, nurses and domestic people who looked  after me and the ability to look at things and say 'together we can  conquer' which has really epitomised the attitude and changed my views  about the way we do things in this country"



Listen for his  story of the immense impact of the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon and  the trail-blazing role he has played in creating an event with over  75,000 participants.



Bukola shares an interesting take on  leadership taught to him by his Mum. It embodies the importance of  giving young people the opportunity to lead and is reflected in his  organisation which is filled with young, bright, passionate people  blazing a path which embraces the digital age.
