Performing the induction during the 8th International Conference of PSSN at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi on Friday, the PSSN President, Prof. Waheed Yahya said, “The inductees were separately selected in recognition of their contributions in championing statistics through their professional callings.
“Dr Mujidat Folashade Tinubu-Ojo advocated and championed the interests and well-being of women marketers in the country which brought unquantifiable happiness to hardworking entrepreneurial women.
