IN SHORT

After the tragic passing of her son, Evelyn Ndali Oputu made a huge personal loss bear fruit for others by establishing the Ovie Brume Foundation, which empowers children and youth. Through both her work with the Foundation and her groundbreaking efforts in the banking sector, Oputu has infused Nigerians young and old with a new sense of hope. But she offers priceless advice from her years of experience specifically to the younger generation: “Although we live in a material world, finding the best in this life is not about money. It’s about integrity, honour, hard work and staying centred.”
