The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ATCO Homes, a top real estate firm with sprawling properties in the Lekki axis of Lagos, Bartholomew Egbochie, has been recognised by two foremost media houses for his contribution to the nation’s economy in the past two years. Bartholomew Egbochie was announced as one of Vanguard newspaper’s most impactful CEOs who contributed to Nigeria’s GDP growth in 2021.
The award came on the heel of a similar recognition by Guardian Newspaper which ranked Egbochie as one of the 50 Most Impactful and Award-winning CEOs that ensured the economy maintained an appreciable level of productivity with a strong impact on household incomes and investors’ confidence during a lull occasioned by the global health crisis.
The criteria for selecting the recipients for the economic contributory honours include outputs in the years under review, sustained workforce strength, evidenced delivery of returns for investors, impressive customer satisfaction rate, and consistency in meeting staff remuneration obligations between the years 2020 and 2021.
