Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi: The new Ooni
of Ife
A new king has been unveiled for the Yoruba
town of Ile-Ife, in Osun State.
He is Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi of the
Giesi ruling house and a holder of Higher
National #Diploma in Accountancy from the
#Polytechnic Ibadan. He is 40 #years old.
According to a 24 October 2015 statement,
entitled “Appointment of a New Ooni,” , “This
follows the completion of the due process and
the communication of their (Kingmakers’) choice
to the government.”
Ogunwusi will sit on the throne of Oduduwa, left
by Oba Okunade Sijuade, who died on July 28
2015 in a London hospital.
The statement was signed by secretary to the
state government, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti.
The announcement of a new Ooni followed
Friday’s judgment by an Osun State High court
dismissing a suit challenging the Ooni of Ife
1980 Chieftaincy Declaration.
Sooko Adegoke and Prince Marcus Adebola
Akimoyero on behalf of Lafogido Ruling House
of Ile-Ife, had sued Governor Rauf Aregbesola,
the Obalufe of Ile-Ife, the late Oba Solomon
Omisakin and Lowa of Ife, Chief Joseph Ijaodola
over the decision to allow only the Giesi Ruling
House to present a candidate for the stool.
The plaintiffs asked the court to set aside the
1980 Ife Chieftaincy Declaration which they said
was “lopsided, unjust, unconstitutional and
unfair.”
Here is the new King’s profile, according to his
website, www.adeyeyeogunwusi.com
Prince Adeyeye is best described as an astute
entrepreneur driven by turning ‘impossibilities
to possibilities’. His power of imagination has set
him aside hence revolutionizing his approach to
creativity and innovation. He is a distinct
achiever with the conscience of youthful
excellence.
The ambitious Young Prince with exceptional
savvy business ideas delved into Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC) locally and
abroad for over 12 years. He is also actively
involved in the development of over 2,500
housing units with various consortia of
developers within the last 8 years. In Nigeria,
He set up and fostered strong trade
relationships through the Association for
International Business (AIB) with presence in
over 200 member countries across the globe.
One of the laudable achievements of this body
includes the trade facilitation between the
United Arab Emirates (Jebel Ali free Trade Zone
development) and the Federal Government of
Nigeria through the Nigerian Investment
Promotion Commission (NIPC).
Furthermore, he led the Government delegation
team to Canada in 2002 that promoted strategic
alliances through a partnership with the Ondo
State Government on solid mineral potentials of
the State (Bitumen, Dimension Stones, Granite,
etc.) that gave rise to the formation of the
‘Amalgamated Mining and Exploration Company
Limited’ – wholly owned by Ondo State
Government. He facilitated the development of
Sparkwest Steel Galvanizing Plant (the only
Steel Galvanizing Plant in Nigeria), National Iron
Ore Mining Company Limited and Jakura Mines
resuscitation projects, which has eventually
become the major limestone feedstock to
Obajana Cement Plant in Kogi State, Nigeria. www.goldmyne.tv/just-in-meet-the-new-ooni-of-ife
