Cllr. Adedamola Aminu
Category - Community Engagement
In 1986, his academic ascension began in the UK, graduating from South Thames College, Southwark College, London South Bank University and Greenwich University, on the way gaining ONDs HNCs, Degrees and Masters in Computer Science, Business & Finance and Marketing, areas in which he now lectures and
consults professionally.
He is currently the Deputy Mayor of London Borough of Lambeth and former Deputy Cabinet Member for Children and young People; He is a director of AA Management Training and Consultancy Ltd, School Governor for various schools, and Trustee for various charitable organisations. He is the Chairman of Association British-Nigerian Councillors in the UK and President of Association of Nigerian Academics in UK.
He was first elected in 2006 to represent Tulse Hill ward. He is a hard working community and ward councillor with additional responsibilities for Lambeth's young people and has done sterling work promoting adoption by Black and Minority Ethnic families.
One of his colleagues describes him as a person involved in community engagement and development, with the key gift of the ability to know when an idea or a cause supersedes politics. He has a willingness - an appetite - to hear all points of view and has a record of success in building relationships across communities and backgrounds.
He likes to relax by watching football. He is more than a football fan - he has had a life time's interest in playing the sport starting by captaining school teams and then playing professional football for the C.R.I.N Football Club in Nigeria. Councillor Adedamola Aminu has put those invaluable skills to even better use in recent years by getting involved in the coaching of children and teenagers in Stockwell, South London.
