OURANOS Technologies Limited has strengthened its board with the appointment of Tajudeen Ahmed as Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective January 1, 2026.
The company also announced the appointment of Omokunbi Adeoti and Olalekan Olabode as non-executive directors, in a move aimed at reinforcing its governance structure and strategic oversight.
Commenting on the development, Managing Director of Ouranos Technologies, Mfon Okon, said the appointments marked a major milestone in the company’s growth journey.

He said: “The appointment of Tajudeen Ahmed as Chairman, alongside the addition of accomplished professionals such as Omokunbi Adeoti and Olalekan Olabode to our Board, represents an important step in strengthening the governance and strategic leadership of Ouranos Technologies.”
He added that “as organisations across Africa accelerate their digital transformation journeys, strong governance, strategic insight, and operational discipline become even more critical.”

“The depth of experience our new Board members bring will support Ouranos Technologies in delivering innovative, secure, and scalable technology solutions for our customers across the region,” Okon said.
Ahmed brings over 25 years of experience spanning consulting, banking, manufacturing, and capital markets. He has held senior leadership roles in organisations such as Arthur Andersen/KPMG, Zenith Bank Plc, Skye Bank Plc, Variant Advisory Limited, and BUA Group, where he played a key role in the listing of BUA Foods Plc on the Nigerian Exchange.
He holds a degree in Accounting from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and an MBA with distinction from the University of Leeds, United Kingdom.
Adeoti, who joins as Non-Executive Director, brings over 24 years of experience in human capital strategy, governance, and organisational transformation. She currently serves as Chief People Experience Officer at Leadway Group, where she oversees human capital and customer experience across multiple business entities.
Kunbi
Also appointed to the Board is Olabode, a finance and operations executive with over 18 years of multinational experience across logistics, supply chain, and corporate finance. He is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, ACCA, and is currently an Executive MBA candidate at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University.
The company said the appointments are part of its broader strategy to deepen its focus on enterprise technology delivery, cybersecurity innovation, and strategic partnerships across Africa.
