President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has felicitated with the Asiwaju of Ijesaland and Founder of the Ibadan Business School, High Chief Olayinka Fasuyi, on his 70th birthday, describing him as a visionary leader whose life exemplifies service, innovation, and community development.

In a statement on Friday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the President commended Chief Fasuyi’s remarkable contributions to national development, both as a management consultant of global repute and as a community leader whose initiatives have transformed Ijesaland.

Tinubu praised the celebrant’s service to international and regional institutions, including the World Bank, African Development Bank, and various government agencies, as well as his leadership through the Ijesa Community Development Assembly (ICDA) and Ijesa Development Fund (IDF), which have significantly advanced socio-economic progress in the region.

“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,” he said.

The President described Chief Fasuyi as a rare patriot whose intellectual depth and devotion to public good continue to inspire younger generations.

“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,” Tinubu said
