Motolani Babalola Drives Social Impact at Leadway

Motolani Babalola serves as the Team Lead for Brand and Corporate Communications at Leadway, where she has seven years of experience in brand building and strategic communications. She emphasizes the importance of storytelling in corporate communications, focusing on the tangible impact organizations can have on communities.

Under her leadership, Leadway established Leadway Cares, a CSR platform aimed at health, education, and social empowerment. This initiative has facilitated food relief programs in partnership with the Lagos Food Bank and environmental activities, including tree-planting initiatives that resulted in over 1,000 trees planted across Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire.

Babalola also developed Leadway Group’s flagship 2025 Social Impact Report and a dedicated social impact website, integrating social impact into corporate strategy rather than treating it as a separate philanthropic effort. Her work reflects a commitment to collaboration and partnerships in achieving social impact.
