Driving Change, Shaping Futures: Omodolapo Eunice Ogunsola Elevates Agribusiness Transformation Across Africa

By Ugo Aliogo

In the evolving landscape of African agribusiness, where transformation depends not only on innovation but also on the ability to communicate impact effectively, few individuals stand out as distinctly as Omodolapo Eunice Ogunsola. Through her leadership in developing and implementing detailed communication strategies for ENABLE-TAAT, a pan-African youth empowerment project and part of the African Development Bank’s flagship program “Feed Africa”, Ogunsola amplifies the message of agricultural transformation, and economic opportunities for women and youth across agribusiness value chains.
Ogunsola’s core responsibility is to craft and coordinate detailed communication strategies tailored to the diverse social, political, and economic contexts across seven African countries—the Republic of Benin, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. This is not a one-size-fits-all effort but a nuanced and strategic undertaking that ensures messages resonate with governments, donors, and local communities alike. By aligning ENABLE-TAAT’s initiatives with the communication needs of multiple stakeholders, Ogunsola ensures that the voice of agricultural innovation is clear, consistent, and compelling across borders.

Her work demonstrates that communication is not just an accessory to development programs but a powerful tool that shapes perception, attracts investment, and drives sustainable impact.

She has mastered the art of corporate strategy and message development, turning complex agricultural interventions into compelling narratives that resonate with decision-makers and everyday citizens. From drafting proposals and pitch documents to shaping announcements and other forms of communication, her work bridges the gap between technical program delivery and the need for accessible storytelling. Each message is carefully designed to highlight results, showcase opportunities, and build trust among stakeholders, creating a fertile ground for deeper partnerships and increased resource mobilization. The result of this is increased interest and inclusion on matters relating to opportunities for gainful employment and income creation for Africa’s youth through agribusiness.
Content creation is another area where Ogunsola excels. She plans, writes, and oversees the production of publications that capture the breadth of ENABLE-TAAT’s impact. These include corporate brochures, annual reports, newsletters, webpages, and even scripts for presentations and videos. Each piece of content serves as more than just information—it is a strategic tool to engage audiences, highlight success stories, and inspire action. In her hands, an annual report becomes a story of progress, a brochure becomes a call to partnership, and a script becomes a vision for the future.

In addition, her role requires constant coordination with both international and local service providers to ensure that the program’s activities and results are disseminated effectively. Whether through feature writing, press releases, or social media campaigns, Ogunsola ensures that the message of ENABLE-TAAT reaches its intended audiences across seven nations. This cross-country coordination not only expands the program’s visibility but also builds a sense of interconnectedness among stakeholders who see themselves as part of a larger continental movement toward agricultural transformation.

Ogunsola’s efforts go beyond raising awareness; they are about building credibility and securing long-term support for young Africans. By promoting and publicizing ENABLE-TAAT’s activities and results to donors, governments, and prospective partners, she ensures that the program remains visible in competitive development landscapes where attention is a scarce resource. Her communications leadership makes it clear that ENABLE-TAAT is not only delivering on its promises but also setting new benchmarks for agricultural development in Africa. This visibility attracts the interest of funders, policymakers, and collaborators who are critical to sustaining and expanding the program’s impact.

Her work also highlights the vital role of communications in driving continental development agendas. In an era where perception often determines investment, Ogunsola has demonstrated that carefully crafted messages can unlock doors to funding, partnerships, and influence. By ensuring that ENABLE-TAAT’s story is told in compelling ways, she has positioned the program as a credible leader in youth and women empowerment through agribusiness, reinforcing Africa’s broader vision of food security and economic transformation.

More importantly, Ogunsola embodies a new kind of leadership—one that combines technical expertise with narrative power. She does not simply broadcast information; she builds a communication ecosystem where every press release, social media post, and report serves a strategic purpose. Her ability to blend creativity with organizational priorities makes her work not just persuasive but transformative, ensuring that ENABLE-TAAT’s voice is amplified across Africa and beyond.

Her contributions underscore an important truth: development programs succeed not only on the strength of their technical innovations but also on how effectively they communicate their value to the world. In Ogunsola’s hands, communication is more than messaging—it is a form of advocacy, diplomacy, and leadership that accelerates change.

As Africa continues to face challenges of food security, unemployment, and economic diversification, the role of programs like ENABLE-TAAT becomes even more critical. And as these programs grow in scope and ambition, the importance of voices like Omodolapo Eunice Ogunsola’s becomes undeniable. She ensures that the story of agricultural transformation is not only told but heard, believed, and acted upon.

In shaping narratives, building partnerships, and amplifying results, Ogunsola has proven that communication is a cornerstone of Africa’s agricultural renaissance. Her leadership across seven countries demonstrates that when messages are strategic, authentic, and well-coordinated, they do more than inform—they inspire progress.
