US President-elect Trump Appoints Nigerian, Ogunlesi, into Economic Team
Nigerian business mogul, Adebayo Ogunlesi, has been named as one of those who will advise US President-elect Donald Trump on the American economy.
The 63 year-old chairman of Global Infrastructure Partners, a private equity firm and a Fortune 500 company, is the only African in a 16-man economic advisory forum, which has Steve Schwarzman, CEO of private-equity giant, Blackstone, as chairman.
The members of the forum include CEOs from Disney, JPMorgan, General Motors, and Boeing.
Blackstone said two days ago that Schwarzman would head a group of business leaders to “frequently” advise President-elect Donald Trump on economic matters.
“President-elect Donald J. Trump today announced that he is establishing the President’s Strategic and Policy Forum”, he said.
