Salako-Ajulo was honoured for her more than two decades of advocacy in consumer protection and her influence on improving transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s marketplace.

Popularly known as “Consumer Mama,” she began her advocacy journey in 2003 with her column Handwriting on the Wall and has since built a career focused on empowering consumers through education and policy engagement.

As founder of the Consumer Advocacy Foundation of Nigeria, she has spearheaded several initiatives, including the 2016 #NoBankingDay protest against excessive bank charges.

She is also the author of Protect Yourself: Your Naija Guide to Consumer Right and Protection and recently introduced the CAFON Consumers Companion, a digital platform designed to help Nigerians understand and enforce their rights.

Her contributions have earned her multiple accolades, including Marketing Journalist of the Year at the Nigeria Marketing Awards for three consecutive years and Brand Journalist of the Year at the ADVAN African Awards 2025.

Speaking on the recognition, Jumoke Johnson described Salako-Ajulo as “a force for justice in the marketplace,” noting that her work continues to equip consumers with the knowledge and tools needed to demand accountability.

NAWOJ Lagos congratulated her on the honour and commended her continued service to Nigerians.
