Former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Kolawole Babatunde, FCIPA, ALBS, has extended heartfelt congratulations to Chief Pius Akinyelure, former Chairman of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

In a celebratory message, Hon. Babatunde—popularly known as ‘Amaechi’ among political associates—commended the Idanre-born technocrat for his distinguished leadership and lasting impact on both Nigeria’s energy sector and the political landscape of Ondo State.

He described Chief Akinyelure as a forward-thinking leader whose stewardship at NNPCL and as an Executive Director at Mobil Oil Nigeria Plc set exemplary standards in corporate governance and strategic decision-making. 

According to him, Akinyelure’s professionalism and integrity have not only advanced Nigeria’s global reputation in the oil industry but also inspired a new generation of professionals to embrace excellence with patriotic zeal.

Reflecting on the celebrant’s contributions to his hometown, Hon. Babatunde highlighted Chief Akinyelure’s commitment to infrastructural growth and community empowerment in Idanre. 

He applauded his efforts in rehabilitating key township roads, including areas surrounding the Alade Market, which have greatly improved transportation and commercial activity in the region.

He also noted Akinyelure’s dedication to education and healthcare, which has opened doors for the underprivileged and earned him accolades from organizations such as the Idanre Development Assembly for his selfless service.

Describing him as a unifying force and a pillar of wisdom, Hon. Babatunde praised the elder statesman’s role in navigating political terrain with grace and maturity, stating that his influence goes beyond partisan affiliations.

He called on young leaders to emulate Chief Akinyelure’s life of humility, service, and unwavering commitment to the common good. 

According to him, the legacy of the octogenarian will remain a guiding light for the progress of Ondo State.

Hon. Babatunde concluded by encouraging Nigerians to celebrate this significant milestone and pledged continued support for initiatives aligned with Chief Akinyelure’s vision of a united and prosperous Ondo State.
