President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Sulaiman Adebola Adegunwa, the Asiwaju of Ijebuland, on the occasion of his 80th birthday, lauding the respected industrialist for his enduring contributions to national development.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President described Adegunwa as a longtime friend, seasoned businessman, and philanthropist whose life and work have left a lasting impact on both people and institutions across Nigeria.
“As he clocks 80, we celebrate a remarkable Nigerian whose investments in key sectors continue to drive economic growth, create employment, and improve livelihoods,” President Tinubu said.
A former Chairman of Sterling Bank, Adegunwa currently serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Essay Holdings Limited, the parent company of Rite Foods Limited — a major player in the Nigerian food and beverage industry, with a state-of-the-art production facility located in Ososa, Ogun State.
President Tinubu praised Adegunwa’s visionary leadership and generosity, noting his broadmindedness in building enterprises that not only flourish economically but also uplift communities.
