President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Asiwaju of Ijesaland, High Chief Olayinka Fasuyi on his 70th birthday on 25 October 2025.
In a statement by his spokesperson, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu rejoiced with the renowned management consultant who has served numerous multilateral and bilateral organisations, including the World Bank, African Development Bank, and other government departments.
Fasuyi is also President/CEO and Founder of Ibadan Business School, Ibadan.
The President commended Fasuyi’s leadership and contributions to community development through the Ijesa Community Development Assembly and the Ijesa Development Fund, which, he said, have redefined the socio-economic and infrastructural landscape of the entire Ijesaland.
President Tinubu said: ‘This milestone is not just a celebration of years lived, but of impact made, legacies established, and a life wholly dedicated to the service of God, community, and our dear country.
‘At 70, you stand not only as the Asiwaju of Ijesaland but also as a great achiever whose ideas, vision, and accomplishments resonate with our national quest for progress. You embody the timeless truth that one person, armed with vision, faith, and courage, can transform the destiny of a people.
‘As your President, I salute you. Nigeria and Ijesaland are proud of you. Posterity will forever remember your name among the rare breed of men who lived not for themselves, but for the upliftment of others.
‘I pray that the Almighty God will continue to bless you with good health, greater wisdom, and renewed strength in the years ahead’.
