The popular saying that the goldfish has no place to hide seems to well capture the essence of the head honcho of St. Ives Hospital Group, Dr. Babatunde Okewale, who ordinarily likes to operate in the background and allow his work speak for him. In spite of his quiet, understated nature, his hard work has again thrown him under the klieg light as he has been recognized by Business Times as one of the top 50 Best Performing Chief Executive Officers in Nigeria in 2024.
The 50 Nigeria’s Best Performing CEOs is an annual event where Business Times recognizes and awards the most outstanding CEOs in Nigeria, cutting across various fields of human endeavors.
The 2024 Business Times Nigeria’s Best Performing CEOs award was held on Wednesday, July, 31, 2024 at the prestigious Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos. The event started off with a cocktail, after which there was a dinner before the award presentations proper.
Dr. Okewale is the Chief Medical Director and Chairman of St. Ives Hospital Group, with branches at Ikoyi, Ikeja, Akowonjo, Abeokuta and FESTAC. The hospital has established a reputation as one of Nigeria’s foremost names in fertility as well as family healthcare.
