President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Asiwaju of Ijesaland, High Chief Olayinka Fasuyi, on the occasion of his 70th birthday, coming up on Saturday.
He celebrated the President/CEO and founder of Ibadan Business School, Ibadan in a State House Press Release by his Special Adviser (Information & Strategy), Bayo Onanuga, dated 24 October, 2025.
President Tinubu rejoiced with Fasuyi, a renowned management consultant who has served numerous multilateral and bilateral organisations, including the World Bank, African Development Bank, and other government departments.
He commended the leadership of Chief Fasuyi and contributions to community development through the Ijesa Community Development Assembly (ICDA) and the Ijesa Development Fund (IDF).
Tinubu noted that the two projects have helped to redefine the socio-economic and infrastructural landscape of the entire Ijesaland.
“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 uplift 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,” President Tinubu stated in the congratulatory message to Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyi.
