President Bola Tinubu has described Lagos-based industrialist, Chief Oyin Jolayemi, as an icon whose success is a testament to hard work and resilient.
Tinudu noted this as he congratulated the business giant on his 85th birthday on June 4.
Tinubu highlighted Jolayemi’s grass-to-grace story and how he eventually rose to the zenith, Mr Bayo Onanuga, the President’s spokesman, said in a statement.
He said Jolayemi’s life was a testament to hard work, industry and resilience that the younger generations should emulate.
The President commended his commitment and contributions to Nigeria’s economic development.
He cited his efforts to provide employment opportunities to young people and his belief in the country’s renaissance.
Jolayemi is a successful entrepreneur with several decades of business experience as well as the founder and chairman of Daily Need Group of Companies.
Jolayemi, who hails from Iludun Oro, Kwara, became a household name in Lagos, where he relocated at age 13, armed only with the determination to succeed.
The President wished Jolayemi continued success in business and other endeavours and God’s grace.
