Alexandra Onabanjo’s sojourn in life has not been a bed of roses; he also had tough times but was able to navigate the tides to retain his spot as one of the biggest business magnates to come out of Nigeria.
With his background in the Nigerian oil and gas terrain with PSG Exploration, Onabanjo has worked in different ventures. He rose through the ranks to become one of the best sales managers with Nigeria Motors Industries (CFAO Plc)
He went ahead to establish his private business conglomerate, which today has many pies of business investment littered across the country. Stylish but carved with grand opulence, panache and sartorial elegance, Onabanjo’s philanthropic gestures are quite enormous as he loves quiet donations that are devoid of media attention.
In his hometown of Ago-Iwoye in Ogun State, the Otunba Sakinmolu as he is fondly called, has carried out different projects that directly touched his people’s lives. He has also donated a well-equipped ICT building to the Olabisi Onabanjo University main campus among other things.
For his contributions to the development of the town, the Ebumawe of Ago-Iwoye, Oba Adbulrasaq Adenugba conferred on him the title of the Asiwaju of Ago-iwoye, a title that was previously held by former Minister of State for Finance and Commerce and Industry, late Jubril Martins-Kuye.
Onabanjo threw a reception party at the WOSAM Arena in Ago-Iwoye on Saturday, April 20, where he treated those who attended to royalty. The roll call includes the governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun; Senator Gbenga Daniel, Senator Solomon Olamilekan, Prince Bisi Olatilo, Iyalaje Toyin Kolade, Oba Otudeko, Parallex Bank MD Femi Bakre, Major General Adebanjo Awosanya(rtd), Ogbeni Oja of Ijebuland, Dr Sonny kuku, Chief Moji Dokpesi, Taiwo and Kenny Ogungbe and a host of others.
