The prestigious title of ‘Basorun Akinjagunla’ of Ogidi community in Kogi State has been conferred on a businessman and philanthropist, Asiwaju Prince Olatunji Olusoji, who is the Asiwaju of Ayere Kingdom, in a colorful ceremony held during the community’s annual Cultural Day celebration on Saturday.
The newly installed ‘Basorun Akinjagunla’ expressed his gratitude to the traditional ruler of Ogidi and the entire community, stating, “My entire life is a testimony. I am a Crown Prince of my community, and I know what this honour means to me and my people. Ogidi community has not been seeing me physically, but they have been seeing my hands.”
He went on to say, “I do not have any reason but to oblige to accept this title. I know what it feels to be underprivileged and I want to live a life of legacy. I don’t want to be remembered for the number of cars that I buy nor the houses that I build but for the impact that I have made.”
Prince Olusoji’s philanthropic gestures have made a significant impact on the community and have endeared him to the hearts of many individuals. Recently, he donated N30million to Ijumu Anglican College of Nursing and Sciences in Ogidi. The donation was made during the groundbreaking and foundation laying ceremony of the administrative building in the institution.
His generosity and commitment to helping others have not gone unnoticed, as his impact extends beyond his immediate community to the whole of Okun Land and Kogi State at large. The people of Ogidi have taken notice of his dedication to improving the lives of others and have honoured him with the title of ‘Basorun Akinjagunla’.
As the newly installed ‘Basorun Akinjagunla’ of Ogidi, Asiwaju Prince Olatunji Olusoji continues to set an example of leadership and service to his community. His dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of others serves as an inspiration to all who know him.
