Otunba Olusola Adewumi is 60. His 60th birthday celebrations kicked off a few days back with a power-packed Thanksgiving service at Abundant Life Gospel Church, Iju Road, Agege, Lagos. On Thursday, August 14th, family, friends, associates, and well-wishers filled the church to rejoice and thank God for the remarkable journey of the celebrant, who is the Chairman/CEO of Equitorial Energy.
The highlight came when the celebrant, fondly
called Pope, was ushered into a 60-minute non-stop praise session by his lovely
wife, Deaconess Oluwakemi Adewumi, alongside their children and close friends.
The atmosphere was electric with joy and gratitude.
The service was officiated by Rev. Dr. Mrs. Janet
Onaolapo, the General Overseer of Abundant Life Gospel Church, who spoke
glowingly about Otunba Adewumi’s steadfast dedication and immense support to
the church through the years.
After the uplifting 3-hour Thanksgiving service,
guests were hosted to a light reception at the Adewumis’ GRA residence in
Lagos. The décor magic was handled by Royal Profile Events, a Lagos-based event
décor outfit, which transformed both the Thursday service space and the Saturday
grand party venue.
For the Thanksgiving reception, they painted the
venue in all shades of blue. At the same time, the Saturday celebration dazzled with a rich
blend of Gold and black décor, complemented by rosy floral arrangements. The
entrance and photo area were elegantly branded with the celebrant’s portraits
and themed flowers, providing guests with the perfect photo opportunities.
The atmosphere lit up the moment the celebrant,
Otunba Olusola Adewumi, made his majestic arrival at the well-decorated
reception. All eyes turned as he stepped in gracefully, arm-in-arm with his
elegant wife, radiating charm and poise befitting the milestone celebration.
Adding to the glamour of the entrance was the
presence of his close ally, Oluwole Olanipekun, SAN, alongside Prince Olajide
Babalola and his beautiful wife. Together, they walked into the venue in grand
style, setting the tone for an A-list event, camaraderie, and unforgettable
celebration.
Otunba Adewumi could not hide his joy as he openly
expressed gratitude to God for His grace over his life and family. Reflecting
on his 24 years of service at Abundant Life Gospel Church, he declared himself
“a fulfilled man at 60.” In appreciation to God, he presented a monumental
birthday gift to the church—a fully equipped, furnished two-storey Children’s
Department building.
The edifice boasts 15 classrooms, an
administrative office, a children’s auditorium, and other child-friendly
facilities, all dedicated to nurturing the younger generation.
Interestingly, this was not the family’s first
remarkable gift to the church. Two years earlier, during Deaconess Oluwakemi
Adewumi’s 50th birthday, she donated a multi-million-naira, tastefully
furnished maternity centre, also supervised by the family’s trusted architect,
Arc. Lekan, a long-serving church member.
With these legacies, the Adewumis continue to
write their names in Gold—not just in their community, but in the kingdom of
God.
Let's tell you more about the celebrant, Otunba
Olusola Adewumi, who is fondly called Sola Adewumi, was born 60 years ago into
the family of Deacon & Deaconess Emmanuel Adewumi of Ikere-Ekiti, both of
blessed memories. From childhood, he was raised with discipline, strong Christian
values, and the importance of hard work—principles that have guided and shaped
his remarkable journey through life.
He began his educational journey in Ikere-Ekiti,
where he had his primary education, before proceeding to St. Thomas Aquinas
College, Akure, for his secondary education. He later advanced to the Ondo
State College of Arts and Science, where he successfully completed his
A-Levels. Determined to pursue excellence, he gained admission into the
prestigious University of Lagos (UNILAG), where he graduated in 1987 with a
degree in Accounting.
Armed with his academic training, Otunba Sola
Adewumi qualified as a professional accountant. He began his career at KPMG,
one of the world’s foremost auditing firms, where he honed his skills in
auditing, corporate finance, and accounting. His drive for growth soon led him
into the banking sector, where he worked with the Crystal Bank of Africa.
Though his path was not without challenges and political undercurrents, these
experiences became stepping stones that prepared him for greater exploits in
business and leadership.
His turning point came when he ventured into the
maritime and petroleum industry under the mentorship of industry icon, Chief
Isaac Jolapamo. Through vision, resilience, and determination, he built a
successful career and has since become a leading figure in Nigeria’s energy and
maritime space.
Today, Otunba Adewumi is the Chairman of
Equatorial Energy Company Ltd, Chairman of Inspiration Hotel and Suites,
Director of JS Shipping and Trading Company Limited, Director of Chikem Farm,
and the President of the Nigerian Shipowners Association (NISA). In these
roles, he has remained a strong advocate for indigenous participation in
shipping and oil and gas, working tirelessly to ensure Nigerian players get
their fair share in the global maritime trade.
Under his leadership, he has spearheaded the
revival of NIMAREX (Nigeria Maritime Expo), which had been inactive for over 15
years, while also drawing attention to critical challenges confronting local shipowners—such
as limited access to funding, high interest rates, and the absence of
shipyards. His vision is clear: to see Nigeria achieve greater competitiveness
in global trade by empowering indigenous shipowners and strengthening maritime
infrastructure.
Beyond business, Otunba Adewumi is a seasoned
community leader. He is the National Worldwide President of Aquinas College
Akure Old Students Association (ACAOSA), where his selfless leadership and
commitment to development have earned him admiration and respect.
For his contributions to society, philanthropy,
and leadership, he has been honoured with several chieftaincy titles. Notably,
he holds the titles of Otunba of Ikere Kingdom and Bashorun of Ayede Ekiti,
affirming his place as a true son of Ekiti with deep roots in culture,
tradition, and service.
Otunba Adewumi is happily married to Chief Mrs.
Oluwakemi Adewumi, his lifelong partner, whom he fondly describes as his
organiser, prayer partner, pastor, and spiritual covering. Together, they have
built a home anchored on love, faith, mutual respect, and shared purpose.
A devout Christian, Otunba believes that true
success is not defined by wealth but by the legacy of a good name, integrity,
and service to humanity. In line with this belief, he has quietly sponsored
numerous students through school and supported community initiatives without
seeking publicity, embodying his philosophy that “if you do what you are
supposed to do, money will come.”
One of the highlights of the Adewumi @ 60
celebration was the love and strong support from the celebrant’s wonderful
children. They all flew in from their bases abroad to celebrate their father in
style, giving him every ounce of support and joy he deserved.
Their fashion game was on point! The gentlemen
looked regal in champagne-white luxury lace agbada, paired with silver aso-oke
caps, while the ladies sparkled in black lace with luxury Swiss gele—a sight
that radiated elegance at the Thanksgiving service.
For the grand Saturday event, the family stunned
again, stepping out in sky-blue luxury outfits, beautifully complemented with
two-tone light-blue aso-oke. Truly, they lit up the stage with their
coordinated looks and proud smiles.
When it comes to Style and Sophistication, the
Adewumis know how to steal the spotlight. Chief (Mrs.) Oluwakemi Adewumi, a
fashionista with impeccable taste, did not disappoint. For the Thanksgiving
service, she dazzled in exclusive HOH black-and-silver iro and buba, matched
with a Jakob Shlaeper Swiss gele/pele sourced from Jummy Exclusive Fabrics.
Standing tall beside her, Otunba Olusola Adewumi looked dapper in his finely
tailored white luxury lace agbada match up with same cap with his boys.
The Saturday celebration was another fashion
showcase. The couple made a grand entrance with the electrifying Ola Best Live
Band, setting the mood. Otunba rocked a silver grey luxury Swiss lace agbada,
while his elegant wife shone in a shade of grey gown embellished with silver
stones, courtesy of Sastextiles Fabrics.
Their second outing saw them turn heads again in
sky-blue ensembles from Sastextiles. Otunba exuded class in another majestic
agbada, while his wife glowed in iro and buba with a two-tone blue aso-oke gele
and pele, topped with flawless makeup that sealed the look.
For their final appearance, the couple brought the
house down in regal green attire. Otunba stunned in a grand agbada, while his
wife captivated the audience in a luxurious head-beaded green dress, styled to
perfection with makeup by Tshakky and gele artistry by Segun Lagos. It was
style, grace, and glamour—every step of the way.
Gists From Otunba ADEWUMI's Star-Studded 60th
TRADITIONAL RULERS HONOUR THE ADEWUMIS
The royal stamp of approval was evident as eminent
traditional rulers stormed Lagos to honour Otunba Sola Adewumi, the Otunba of
Ikere Kingdom, on his milestone 60th birthday. Leading the royal train was the
Ogoga of Ikere Kingdom, Oba Adejimi Adu Alagbado, Agirilala II, who came in
grand style with his radiant Olori, Eyesorun Funmilola Adejimi Adu, and members
of the Ogoga-in-Council. Also present was the Atah of Ayede-Ekiti, Oba Adebayo
Abdumumini Orisagbemi, accompanied by his beautiful Oloris, alongside other
distinguished royal fathers who came to celebrate one of their own. Their
presence added prestige, tradition, and cultural pride to what MC already a glamorous and unforgettable
celebration.
ABOUT THE CHIEF HOST
The spotlight also shone brightly on the
celebrant’s beautiful wife, Chief (Mrs.) Oluwakemi Adewumi, stepped out as
the Chief Host of the day. Popularly called Otun Eyesorun, she is known for her
eye for detail and impeccable taste. She made sure every detail of the 60th
birthday celebration was top-notch as she honoured her king in grand style.
Her vibrant energy and unshakable vibes kept the
event alive from start to finish. Right by her side was her dependable
assistant, Madam Bunmi Adeyemi, her “second eye,” who ensured no detail slipped
through the cracks. Together, they gave the Adewumi @ 60 party that flawless
touch guests won’t forget in a hurry.
CHAIRMAN, NEWS CRUISE FM, WOLE OLANIPEKUN SAN
STOOD BY THE ADEWUMIS
Also adding class and weight to the occasion was
Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN, CFR, the Asiwaju of Ikere Kingdom and one of the
most industrious sons of the land. A father figure and mentor to the Otunba
Adewumi, Chief Olanipekun stood solidly by them and gave full support to the
celebration.
He commissioned the Children’s Department of
Abundant Life Gospel Church—the celebrant's birthday gift to his church. And of
course, he was not alone; the ever-graceful Princess Erelu Omolara Olanipekun
was right beside him, radiating elegance as they both celebrated Otunba’s
Diamond Jubilee.
CHIEF ISAAC JOLAPAMO WAS THERE
Among the high-profile dignitaries who graced the
Adewumi @ 60 celebration was Chief Isaac Jolapamo, the Founding President of
the Nigerian Shipowners Association (NISA) and Chairman/CEO of Morlap Group. A
boss, mentor, and close ally of the celebrant, Chief Jolapamo showed up in
grand style with his lovely wife to honour Otunba Sola Adewumi on his big day.
Their presence spoke volumes of the respect and bond between the two.
BETWEEN DIG ABIODUN ALABI, PRINCE FEYI OGOJI AND
GENERAL ODUNAYO ADETAYO
Call them the “Ikere–Ekiti Connect” and you won’t
be wrong! Retired DIG Abiodun Alabi (Fiwajoye of Ikere-Ekiti), General Adeyemi
Odunayo Adetayo (Balogun of Ikere Kingdom), and Prince Feyi Ogoji
(Co-founder/Vice Chairman of Tribest Corporate Support) were all there to show
love to their longtime friend.
While DIG Alabi and General Adetayo are proud sons
of Ilawe-Ekiti, Prince Ogoji shares deeper roots with the celebrant as a
childhood friend from Ikere-Ekiti. Adding more spice to the mix was Chief Dimeji
Isiaka, the Bobagunwa of Ikere Kingdom. Together, this strong clique bonded,
laughed, and vibed endlessly to the evergreen sounds of King Sunny Ade.
MEET ERELU KEMI ADEWUMI’S SQUAD
What’s a party gist without the glam squad? Erelu
Kemi Adewumi’s squad was unmissable. A circle of her childhood friends spanning
over 30 years, many of them flew in from different parts of the world to
celebrate Otunba’s diamond age.
They turned heads in rich tulle lace ensembles,
matched with customised aso-oke, before switching to eye-catching lemon lace
later in the evening. The squad included Mrs. Bunmi Adeyemi, Mrs. Desola
Adelegan (from Dublin), Mrs. Dare Alao, Dr. Mrs. Carolyn Iwetan (from Canada),
Pastor (Mrs) Bola Ajagunna, Bursar Fuoye, among others. Together, they added
colour, vibe, and loyalty to the celebration.
ADMIRAL SEGUN ADEBARI AND WIFE NOT LEFT OUT
The bond between the Adewumis and the Adebari
family runs deep, and it was evident at the grand 60th birthday. Admiral Segun
Adebari and his wife were everywhere, making sure their presence and love were
felt. In fact, Mrs. Adebari personally coordinated souvenirs and other
logistics at the party—a testament to the closeness and cherished relationship
between both families. Truly, they are more than friends; they are family.
BETWEEN THE ADEWUMI AND AWONIYI FAMILY
When two noble families unite, the bond becomes
unbreakable. That’s the story of the Adewumi and Awoniyi families, who have
since become one through their jewel, Deaconess Oluwakemi Adewumi (née
Awoniyi).
Both families showed up in grand style, not just
to honour Otunba Sola Adewumi at 60, but also to celebrate their wife, sister,
and daughter. Their unity was visibly displayed in their coordinated attire.
The men stunned in blue-black buba and agbada luxury Swiss lace, each family
with distinct agbada designs but the same aso-oke cap pattern. The women
matched beautifully in luxury lace fabrics, while for the thanksgiving service,
everyone turned out in elegant sky-blue ensembles.
From the Adewumis were Pastor Tope Adewumi &
wife, Pastor Mrs. Lola Adewumi; Mr. Olayiwola Adewumi & wife; Mrs. Adeyinka

GRENVILLE SCHOOL BOSS, PRINCE OLAJIDE BABALOLA WAS
THERE
Another strong pillar of support at the Adewumi @
60 celebration was Prince Olajide Babalola—academician, shipping magnate, and
Chairman of Grenville Schools, Lagos. A close ally and business partner of the
celebrant, he played the role of chief co-host effortlessly.
Prince Babalola, accompanied by his stylish wife,
Olori Bolatito Babalola (CEO, Jibdots Fabrics), was on his feet throughout,
ensuring guests were properly catered for. The two best friends even exchanged
a jaw-dropping birthday gift—a 2025 Chevrolet Suburban SUV—to mark their
diamond ages in grand style.
On the Babalajes’ guest list were Engr. Tola
Gbuyiro (Gooslink Engineering Ltd.), Chief Femi Babalola & wife, Akogun
Stephen Abiodun Ojo, Arc. Sola Omotosho & wife, alongside Olori Bolatito’s
stylish friends, who brought extra glitz to the event.
REV. DR. (MRS.) JANET ONAOLAPO’S MOTHERLY ROLE
The mother of the day was undoubtedly the
celebrant’s spiritual mother, Rev. Dr. (Mrs.) Janet Onaolapo, General Overseer
of Abundant Life Gospel Church, Lagos. She not only led the Thanksgiving
service but also played her motherly role at every stage—offering prayers,
blessings, and heartfelt words of affirmation for Otunba Adewumi and his
family.
She was joined by church elders, deacons,
ministers, and members of Abundant Life, all of whom came in large numbers to
honour one of their most dedicated elders and benefactors.
EQUITORIAL ENERGY STAFF NOT LEFT OUT
Otunba’s professional family also turned up big.

BIRTHDAY BOY ROLLS OUT IN STYLE WITH 2025
CHEVROLET SUBURBAN
Talk about celebrating in grand style! The
birthday boy, Otunba Olusola Adewumi, didn’t just mark his 60th with music,
glamour, and plenty of fanfare—he went a step further by gifting himself a 2025
Chevrolet Suburban.
He chose a sparkling white edition of the luxury
SUV, perfectly matching his classy personality and taste for elegance. But that
wasn’t all—his close ally wasn’t left out of the high-end celebration. In a
show of friendship and style, the ally drove in with the black edition of the
same machine.
White and black, side by side, the two SUVs added
an extra layer of glitz to the already glamorous party. Guests couldn’t stop
admiring the powerful rides, a true reflection of success, class, and
celebration at 60!
AARE YEOSUF ADEKUNLE WAHEED & WIFE LIT UP THE
PARTY

60th birthday bash was the grand entry of Ilorin-based businessman, Aare Yeosuf
Adekunle Waheed and his stylish wife, Chief (Mrs.) Yeosuf Olajumoke Idiat, the
Iyaloja. They literally stole the show as they flew in from Ilorin with their
entourage.

Olajide Kehinde, and Alafin Mustapha Abioye. Trust King Sunny Ade to make it
extra special—he sang their praises in his evergreen juju rhythm, and the hall
went agog.
EYESORUN FUNMILOLA ADEJIMI ADU’S ROLE
The celebrant’s wife, Otun Eyesorun of Ikere
Kingdom, Chief Mrs. Oluwakemi Adewumi, shares a deep bond with Eyesorun
Funmilola Adejimi Adu, the elegant wife of the Ogoga of Ikere Kingdom. This
explains why Olori Adu was fully on ground, ensuring that guests were well
catered for.
Her company, T-Crown Fabrics, also supplied the
customised aso-oke that added class and uniformity to the guests’ appearances,
further sealing her role as both supporter and style influencer at the party.

The Adewumis are not just members but pillars of
Abundant Life Gospel Church, Lagos. Otunba, fondly called Pope, is an elder,

of God and members, the church community celebrated one of their own with joy
and pride, turning the event into a reunion of faith and thanksgiving.
