Even though Nigeria’s recruitment site Jobberman has been completely acquired by the $167 million-worth One Africa Media, its cofounders will still be heading the company, Jobberman said in a statement.
Co-founders Ayodeji Adewunmi, Opeyemi Awoyemi and Olalekan Olude have become Shareholders and Directors in the group. While the trio still acts in their current roles as CEO and Senior Vice Presidents respectively, they will now operate at the group level bringing their experience and expertise to bear in other OAM-owned businesses through a shares roll-up deal.
Describing the development as great news, Ayodeji Adewunmi said, “We started Jobberman with the vision of being the No. 1 destination for jobs in Africa; a mission we continue to work toward. With the additional funding provided by OAM, and the new group designations, we are better poised to achieving this goal and also growing other sister companies of Jobberman in the OAM group. We can now go on to conquer Africa and keep a firm grip on Nigeria which is Africa’s most populous nation and largest economy.”
