Today, February 4, marks a significant milestone as Amina Omoike, a distinguished media professional, mentor, and advocate for youth empowerment, celebrates her 44th birthday. Known for her remarkable contributions to journalism, public relations, and mentorship, Amina continues to leave an indelible mark on the industry and society at large.
The management and entire team at Sports247, under the distinguished leadership of Jide-Ojo Jide Olusola, join the media industry and countless admirers in celebrating Amina Omoike.
Amina currently serves as the Group Head of Media Services at Mediacraft Associates, bringing nearly two decades of experience and expertise to the table. Her career in media is both diverse and impressive, having worked with some of Nigeria’s top-tier publications, including The Comet, National Mirror, Nigerian Compass, Encomium Weekly, Newswatch, and Marketing Edge magazine. Her sharp focus on brand and marketing reporting has earned her widespread recognition and multiple prestigious accolades.
Among her many honors, Amina received the Nigerian Media Merit Award (NMMA) for Brands and Marketing Reporter of the Year in 2014 and was named Female Reporter of the Year at the 2009 Media Nite-Out Awards. She further demonstrated her journalistic excellence as the runner-up in the Telecommunications Reporter of the Year category at NMMA 2016.
However, Amina’s influence extends far beyond her professional achievements. She is deeply committed to mentoring and empowering the next generation. Her pivotal role in the Young Girls in School Initiative, a program by Event Diary Lifestyle, has significantly impacted the lives of many young girls, encouraging them to pursue education and leadership opportunities. Amina’s passion for youth development also shines through her volunteer work with the Scripture Union Long Vacation Camp, where she dedicates her time to shaping future leaders.
Reflecting on her dedication, it’s impossible to forget her unwavering support during last year’s International Day of the Girl Child celebration. Despite a busy schedule that included an online meeting, Amina prioritized her role as a panelist and delivered an inspiring session.
Her selfless commitment was also evident when she reached out after the International Women’s Day event organized by the Young Girls in School Initiative—a program she hadn’t been invited to—offering her services for free. Since that day, Amina has become a steadfast pillar of support for the initiative and the Event Diary Lifestyle brand.
Her loyalty and encouragement extend beyond mentorship and into supporting local businesses. Amina’s choice of Adeola Ladire Royal Fabric as her preferred Adire plug speaks volumes about her belief in promoting local craftsmanship and culture. Her continuous support has been invaluable to the brand.
In recognition of her vast contributions, Princess Adeola Shittu, Publisher of Event Diary Lifestyle, shared heartfelt wishes on this special day:
“Amina Omoike is not just a media leader; she is a force of inspiration. Her impact on the Young Girls in School Initiative has been truly transformative, and we deeply appreciate her unwavering support in empowering young girls and boys. We celebrate her today and always. Happy Birthday, Amina!”
As Amina steps into another year of influence and purpose, tributes from colleagues, mentees, and admirers pour in, celebrating her resilience, dedication, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
From all of us at Sports247, we extend our warmest wishes to Amina Omoike. Happy 44th Birthday! May this year bring even more success, joy, and continued positive transformation.
Here’s to a remarkable woman whose story continues to inspire!
