The newly installed Oniru of Iruland, His Royal Majesty Abdulwasiu Gbolahan Lawal turned 50 yesterday.
In his goodwill message, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu describes him as “a committed humanist” and accomplished public servant.
Prior to being installed a traditional ruler the Oniru worked in various state parastatals. He rose through the ranks to become the Commissioner for Agriculture under the current administration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
High brow Oniru area of Victoria Island, is arguably one of the most expensive area of the state. It is home to many expatriates and the very affluent Lagosians. Many blue chip companies are also located within the axis.
Birthday wishes from @jidesanwoolu
“I rejoice with the Oniru of Iruland, HRM Abdulwasiu Gbolahan Lawal on his 50th Birthday.
Kabiyesi is a committed humanist who served as a police officer and later distinguished himself as an astute administrator who served in Lagos as Commissioner.
Oba Lawal worked with others to deliver democratic goods to the people of Lagos before becoming a traditional ruler.
During his service as Honourable Commissioner of Agriculture in our administration, Oba Lawal brought positive energy and transformational change to the agriculture sector in line with our THEMES agenda.
On behalf of my family and the people of Lagos, I wish Kabiyesi many more fruitful years and continuous service to humanity.
@hrmoniru.”
