On March 21, 2022, he was nominated by Business Insider as the ‘Business Influencer of 2022’, along with Tony Elumelu, Dr. Ola Brown, Vusi Thembekwayo, and Victor Asemota.

Omokri dedicated the award to former President Goodluck Jonathan and ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

“Reno, I am so proud of you for emerging as Business Insider’s Business Influencer of the Year. Your nomination was well deserved. And your victory, by 74.76 per cent of over 200,000 votes, is an overwhelming vote of confidence in you by the international community. Your ability to influence business and political trends is very rare,” said Jonathan in a statement.

The Nigerian ex-president said he was honoured that Omokri chose to dedicate the award to him.

Also, Atiku, in a statement he signed, “I congratulate Reno Omokri, who was nominated by Business Insider magazine as the Business Influencer of the Year, 2022, an award he has now won. I am also much honoured that the award is dedicated to me.”

The former Nigerian vice president noted that business “is the lifeblood of an economy.

“I am dedicated to fulfilling our destiny as ‘One Nation’, where everybody has a job or a business. I am not the big picture. Nigeria is the big picture,” added Atiku. “My focus is to see that our picture has the structure that will enable us to fulfil our future and potential. I am confident that we can get Nigeria working again so that more of our people can win awards as this.”

Reno is worth having as a spokesperson. He is better than all the presidency spokesmen including the legendary Lies Muhammed

Congratulations to him

So Las Las he won. Wey that South African guy making noise on Twitter. Someone should help me check on him to know how far

He deserves it! His Masterclass on YouTube is an excellent collection to watch.

On March 21, 2022, he was nominated by Business Insider as the ‘Business Influencer of 2022’, along with Tony Elumelu, Dr. Ola Brown, Vusi Thembekwayo, and Victor Asemota.

Tony Elumelu is a board room guru and one of the most successful bankers in the country. He's not a business Influencer and shouldn't have been named in such category

Which business does Reno run that is winning award for him ?

Man be giving them tough time.
