“When success adorns the garb of humility it shines with greater lush”. This timeless anonymous quote, aptly captures the resplendent persona of a profoundly cerebral, mercurial, entrepreneurial, professional and sociable twenty-first century amazon, Barrister (Mrs.) Patience Dappa.

A lawyer and administrator of over two decades, ‘Pat’, as fondly called by family, friends and colleagues in corporate Nigeria, is currently, the company secretary, Legal Adviser and Executive Director (Properties) of the octopodal, high octane player in the Oil and Gas (downstream)sector, Masters Energy, Oil and Gas Group.

Her cerebral acumen is a product of her enviable submission to an ever burgeoning quest for knowledge, crystalysing in an intimidating resume, that include, Masters in Humanitarian Law and Refuge Studies; Masters of Law; Senior Management Programme Course of the Lagos Business School; Post-Graduate Diploma in Shipping and Maritime Law obtained from London Metropolitan University, among others.

Barrister (Mrs.) Patience Dappa is a member of the prestigious Chartered Institute of Arbitrators of Nigeria. An astute manager of man, material and resources, she acquits herself, creditably, as stickler for thoroughness, due diligence and corporate governance.
Pacific Pat is a quintessential change and growth agent, who is unabashedly committed to the conscious agitation for greater involvement of women in political leadership in all tiers of government in Nigeria.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we welcome Pacific Pat to the 2013 Class of MMS Plus’ Woman of Fortune Hall of Fame.
