Governor Ademola Adeleke has bagged the fellowship award of a socio-cultural group, Ede Unique Club of Nigeria, in recognition of the various infrastructural development projects embarked upon since his assumption of office.

The spokesperson for the organisation, Wale Ojetimi, said in a statement on Tuesday in Osogbo that the investiture of the fellowship award would be held in Ede on Thursday as part of the organisation’s 40th anniversary celebrations.

Mr Ojetimi said that the award was a testimonial to Mr Adeleke’s achievements and his progeny’s remarkable contributions to the socio-economic and political development of Osun and Nigeria.

He said the governor would also inaugurate the N5.5 million solar-powered facility donated by the club to the State Hospital in Ede.

Mr Ojetimi said the solar-powered facility was part of the organisation’s corporate social responsibility initiative for its 40th anniversary.

He said that the event, to be presided over by the Timi of Ede, Oba Munirudeen Lawal, will feature an anniversary lecture delivered by Mojeed Alabi, a former Osun House of Assembly speaker.

According to him, Wale Abass, a retired assistant inspector general of police (AIG), will be among the prominent individuals to receive special recognition awards at the event.

Mr Abass recently retired from the Nigeria Police Force as an AIG after 35 years of service.

The club is a nonpartisan, socio-cultural organisation of leaders in business, academia, the professions, and public service who have excelled in their various chosen fields and are contributing positively to society in Nigeria and the diaspora.

Established in 1983, the organisation engages in human capital and social development, focusing particularly on the development of young people.
