NIYI JOHN OLAJIDE BAGS EKITI BUILDER LEADERSHIP AWARD.

Philanthropist and business mogul, Mr. Niyi John Olajide, has been honoured with the prestigious Ekiti Builder Leadership Award by the Editorial Board of Kayegbo International Magazine.

Mr. Olajide, who has over 1,000 people in his employment at Agbeyewa and Ikogosi, has made multi-billion naira investments in Ekiti State, including the largest cassava farm in Africa and Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort, which has been adjudged the best resort in Nigeria for three consecutive years.

These two great investors, Aare Afe Babalola and Mr. Niyi John Olajide, deploying their personal funds and resources, remain the major drivers and shakers of the Ekiti economy, and indeed Nigeria's economy at large.

The award, according to the Editorial Board, is a recognition of Mr. Olajide's remarkable contributions to economic development, job creation, philanthropy and community transformation in Ekiti State. His investments have not only created employment opportunities but have also contributed significantly to positioning Ekiti as an emerging destination for agriculture, tourism and private-sector investment.

Speaking on the honour, the Editorial Board commended Mr. Olajide for demonstrating that purposeful entrepreneurship, when combined with a strong commitment to society, can become a powerful instrument for transforming communities and strengthening the local economy.

The Ekiti Builder Leadership Award therefore stands as a celebration of his vision, enterprise and enduring commitment to the development of Ekiti State, while also inspiring other private investors to deploy their resources towards building a more prosperous and sustainable future for the state.
