“In all his call to duty, our Daddy left an indelible mark on everyone about his sincerity, and commitment. He was a Kind, Loving and Caring man, both to his family, extended family members, colleagues, aquitances and people, generally. Pa Ogunlusi was President of FESTAC TOWN RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION, and his efforts, alongside others, eventually led to the creation of the Amuwo Odofin LCDA. Pa Ogunlusi was  also during his lifetime the Chairman of the Community Development Council, Amuwo Odofin chapter, where his commitment to community development shone brightly . Our Daddy really impacted our lives and the lives of countless others in many ways we cannot over stressed. His legacy of love, wisdom, and kindness will continue to inspire us, his children, family and friends.
