Prince Olatunde Rotimi Paseda, a business mogul, Transport Management expert, successful air travel operator, an astute hotelier and committed philanthropist, is a politician with special mission. This prince who hails from Omu-Ijebu, Ogun State, was born on 22nd June, 1966. Today, Paseda whose mother is a retired teacher, is nicknamed and fondly called Omo Iya Teacher (Teacher’s son) EDUCATION... He attended Baptist Academy, Lagos State, where he obtained his Ordinary Level Certificate before traveling abroad for further studies. In United Kingdom, he attended the University of London, Berberck College, where he studied Transport Management. He later got his Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) in Tourism and Recreation Management from University of Cardiff, Wales, UK. BUSINESS.... He became a member of the Chartered Institute of Transport, United Kingdom, and worked briefly as European Air Tour Operator with Euro Skyhop International. Paseda who was then a young man in his mid-20s embarked on air-travel agency business by establishing Skylink Travels and Tours; over twenty-five years ago. This marked the commencement of his adventure into business in the United Kingdom; which according to him, later spread across other parts of the world.. As an astute business man he saw a company in Mexico some years ago, which was into manufacturing of heavy duty equipment. He quickly recognized the business opportunity that can be unlocked through that and bought into it. He formed a partnership with two other like-minds and this became one of his main businesses. He is also into fire engines construction, which sell mostly in Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America. He has successfully established two engineering firms that are into fabrication and building of heavy machinery. They manufacture water tankers, fire engines, garbage /compacting trucks and the likes. Paseda owns four major companies across the world (UK, US, and Latin America and Nigeria ). His interest in hospitality business led him into establishing some hotels across different parts of Nigeria. AWARDS & RECOGNITION.... These business adventures fetched him recognition recently as he was awarded alongside President Olusegun Obasanjo and Chief Olusegun Osoba as Most Influential Industrialist among 100 Most Influential Ogun Indigenes Still Living. His immense contributions to the development of Omu earned him the chieftaincy title of the Otunba Adeneye 1 of Omu-Ijebu, he was also installed as the Garkuwan Hausawan (the man of the masses) of Ogun State by the Hausa communities in Ogun state. Today, he is a recipient of numerous awards LEGACY & PHILANTHROPY.. This Omu-Ijebu prince is the Founder of Paseda Legacy Foundation, an NGO he established for his philanthropic activities, to help the needy and give back to the society. POLITICS..... According to him, his desire to touch more lives led him into politics. He contested the governorship of Ogun State during the 2015 general election under the platform of Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN). He however couldn’t win the incumbent Governor Ibikunle Amosun of the All Progressives Congress(APC) and his close competitor, Gboyega Nasir Isiaka . Paseda has reiterated his personal belief in Awolowo’s socio-political ideology and cardinal points of free education, free health care, low-cost housing scheme and rural integration, etc. This strong belief in Awolowo’s ideology is the reason why he is contesting again, to enable him implement the Four Cardinal Points as Ogun State Governor if voted for in 2019. MARRIAGE & FAMILY..... He is happily married with children. His wife is currently managing the company he established in UK.
