The executive chairman of Oluyole Local Government, Asiwaju Engr. Akeem Olatunji, has been elected a Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (FNSE).
This comes as a recognition for his decades of professional excellence and service, in the field of engineering.
The prestigious honor was approved by the Council of the Nigerian Society of Engineers during its meeting held on May 15, 2025.
The Fellowship, one of the highest professional recognitions in engineering practice in Nigeria, is awarded to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding contributions to the engineering profession and society at large.
According to the official letter signed by the NSE Executive Secretary, Engr. Joshua O. Egube, Asiwaju Olatunji was informed that the conferment takes effect from the date of the official ceremony, after which he is entitled to use the respected professional title FNSE.
The date for the Conferment Ceremony is yet to be announced, but the Olatunji disclosed that NSE has assured that all relevant information will be communicated in due course.
As part of the celebrations, a commemorative brochure is being produced to honor the new Fellows.
This latest honor adds to the growing accolades of Asiwaju Akeem Olatunji, whose leadership in Oluyole LG and contributions to engineering and public service continue to inspire many across Oyo State.
Reacting to the development, Olatunji said, the honor has further reassured him that he is on the right path as a political disciple of governor Seyi Makinde, who is Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineer.
Olatunji, a certified member of COREN, prides himself as a true son of the Makinde political dynasty, and vowed to continue to keenly follow in the governor’s footsteps politically.
“This recognition has again reinforced my assurances that all the little efforts we put into governance and professional practice as an engineer towards making our society a better place are being monitored and recognized.
“This will only strengthen us to continue to uphold the professional ethics and standard in the engineering practice as well as be a good ambassador of the society in public practice.
“As I’ve always said, governor Seyi Makinde leads, we follow. I’m particularly immersed in his footsteps because the governor’s life in both private practice and public services are worthy of emulation,” Olatunji said.
