Leadership Overhaul Signals Fresh Vision
The National Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture has reorganised its top team, an administrative order by Chairperson Losidik Lukak Legge confirms. Observers say the shake-up aims to inject renewed energy into an institution that brokers vital deals for the private sector.
Women Break Glass Ceiling in Executive Suite
Salwa Bakony Monytuil becomes the first woman promoted to First Deputy Chairperson, moving from the second slot. Another newcomer, Wieu Wieu Mou, steps into the Second Deputy Chairperson post, broadening professional diversity at the summit.
Strategic Shifts in Advisory Roles
Former First Deputy Chairperson John Lual Akol Akol now serves as Senior Advisor on Regional and International Trade, a post expected to guide cross-border market integration. Analysts view the reassignment as continuity through experience rather than a demotion.
Expanding Boardroom Representation
The executive order adds Sarah Enok to the Board alongside John Agau, Duol Teng and Dr. James Bol. Observers note that two of eight top seats are now held by women, a modest yet symbolic stride toward gender balance.
Business Community Reacts to Overhaul
Local entrepreneur Atong Deng calls the promotions “an encouraging signal that competence matters.” Meanwhile, economist Peter Ojok argues the mix of seasoned advisors and youthful figures could sharpen the Chamber’s advocacy as the economy diversifies.
Path Forward for Inclusive Growth
By prioritising wider representation, the Chamber aligns with continental blueprints such as Agenda 2063. Effective implementation, observers say, will depend on collaborative policy design, attentive stakeholder engagement and continuous capacity-building across regional chapters.
