The Man · Arole
A representative who stayed.
From the first Executive Secretary of Ojodu LCDA to Chairman of the House Committee on Finance, the through-line is the same: build the institution, count the household, leave a record.
Rt. Hon. (Dr.) James Abiodun Faleke was born on 25 December 1959 in Ekinrin-Adde, Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State. His public life began long before elective office — in the disciplined world of purchasing, logistics and commercial management, where a promise is a delivery date and a budget is a public trust.
He built that career in some of Nigeria's most exacting corporate environments: Air Liquide PLC, the Aluminium Manufacturing Company of Nigeria (ALUMCO) PLC as Purchasing Manager, and Crown Agents Ltd as Commercial Manager until 2003. Along the way he earned an HND in Purchasing and Supply Management, an MBA from Kaduna Polytechnic, and professional qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS).
