Today marks the birthday celebration of one of Osun State’s most distinguished sons, Adekunle Ademola-Sadipe, whose remarkable journey from local roots to global acclaim exemplifies excellence in leadership, professional achievement, and political engagement.
As the current Chairman of the Youth Advisory Council to the Governor of Osun State and a Harvard Business School alumnus has consistently demonstrated exceptional commitment to youth empowerment, economic development, and political stability in our dear state.
His appointment as Chairman of the Osun Startup Hub Advisory Board further underscores his dedication to fostering entrepreneurship and innovation among Osun youths. Under his guidance, the hub has become a beacon of hope for young entrepreneurs seeking to contribute meaningfully to the state’s economy.
Ademola-Sadipe played a pivotal role in Governor Ademola Adeleke’s successful 2022 campaign, mobilizing youth support across the state through strategic engagement initiatives.
His contributions were recognized when he was appointed to the 14-member Technical Committee of the Governor’s Transition Committee, where his strategic insight proved invaluable in ensuring a smooth transition of power.
“Kunle represents the best of what Osun youth can achieve with proper education, mentorship, and determination,” remarked a senior PDP official who requested anonymity. “His Harvard education and global experience in real estate management have positioned him as one of our most valuable assets in the current administration.”
Beyond politics, Ademola-Sadipe’s professional achievements are equally impressive. As a Certified Civil Commercial Mediator accredited by the prestigious Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in the UK, he has successfully mediated complex commercial disputes, bringing his expertise back home to benefit Osun State.
His recent partnership with Project Youth Spark stands as testament to his commitment to youth development, successfully training over 200 Osun youths in enterprise and development skills. The three-week intensive program culminated in grants, internships, and free business registrations for participants, directly addressing unemployment challenges in the state.
As co-founder of Africa Proptech Foundry, Ademola-Sadipe is pioneering innovative technology solutions to transform real estate operations across the continent, positioning Osun State at the forefront of digital innovation in this sector.
He is from Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area, Ademola-Sadipe remains deeply connected to his roots despite his global success. His continuing investment in local development initiatives reflects his commitment to giving back to the community that nurtured him.
As he celebrates another year of extraordinary achievement, the people of Osun State, particularly the youth, join together in wishing this exemplary leader many more years of impactful service to state and nation.
