The City Boy Movement has appointed Dr. Olabisi Olaitan Adebambo as Director of Persons With Disabilities for the re election bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Dr. Olabisi, who proudly identifies as a Person With Disabilities, brings intellect, grit and grassroots strength to the role. Her appointment is widely seen as a strategic move to deepen inclusion and mobilization across communities of persons with disabilities nationwide.
She previously served on the Presidential and Governorship Campaign Council in Oyo State under the Directorate of People with Special Needs where she functioned as Secretary. Her mobilization drive and coordination efforts were described by party stakeholders as instrumental to the 2023 electoral victory of President Tinubu.
Beyond politics, Dr. Olabisi has built a reputation as an accomplished scholar and educator. She holds a PhD in Measurement and Evaluation from Lead City University, where her doctoral research evaluated the availability and adequacy of Universal Basic Education library resources in Southwest Nigeria.
She earned a Master of Education in Educational Evaluation from University of Ibadan with distinction, after completing a Bachelor of Science in Education Economics at Tai Solarin University of Education.
Currently a classroom teacher under the Oyo State Post Primary Schools Teaching Service Commission, Dr. Olabisi has consistently combined academic excellence with community service.
Her growing body of scholarly publications spans educational assessment, emotional intelligence and academic achievement, as well as emerging conversations around generative AI in African higher education. She is also affiliated with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria and holds professional certifications in project management and customer relationship management.
Outside the classroom and research space, Dr. Olabisi is deeply engaged in women empowerment and inclusive development. With over five years experience in the non profit sector, she has organized skills acquisition trainings and empowerment workshops focused on economic independence, gender equality and sustainable growth.
She is a brand ambassador for EwaAde Hub NG and has volunteered with organizations promoting business enterprise development, youth participation in governance and women leadership.
Speaking on her broader motivation for leadership and social change, Dr. Olabisi has consistently emphasized that the fight against poverty must begin with justice and equity. She has expressed strong commitment to platforms such as the African Young Women Leadership Fellowship, noting that exposure to advocacy, activism and leadership training will amplify her impact across communities and strengthen her engagement with policy makers.
“It is rare in this part of the world to see women with disabilities attain significant academic and professional milestones,” she once remarked, stressing that there are countless abilities within every disability.
Observers believe her appointment as Director of Persons With Disabilities under the City Boy Movement signals a renewed push for inclusive political engagement and strategic mobilization ahead of the next electoral cycle.
With her blend of scholarship, grassroots experience and lived reality as a woman with disability, stakeholders say Dr. Olabisi is poised to drive advocacy, representation and structured participation for persons with disabilities within the re election campaign structure.
