The true worth of every person is not only defined by their wealth, acquisitions, degrees obtained, social circles or positions attained alone, but also by the number of lives positively transformed, and to the glory of God, Dr. Patrick Omoyeni ticks all the boxes.
On the 18th of April, 1982, a shining light was born in Oka Akoko, Ondo state, who would turn out to be a blessing to humanity.
Fast forward to 43 years after, Dr. Patrick Omoyeni, now Nigeria’s top export expert and globally recognised business management consultant, is living up to the purpose God commissioned him to fulfill in the world.
Given his humble beginnings, Dr. Patrick Omoyeni- the 7th of 8 children born to Pa Julius and Madam Regina Omoyeni, it is not surprising to see Dr. Patrick Omoyeni become somewhat of an icon in expressing compassion towards the less privileged, giving hope to the hopeless and empowering the economically challenged.
With over a decade’s worth of experience in export administration, management and operations, the youthful Dr. Patrick Omoyeni, continues to carry himself well in the international trade industry, both as the Operations Manager at Palmadex Group, yet maintaining his growing popularity as Group CEO of Fixit Nigeria, Africa’s fastest growing fintech services company, with stations across the 36 states in Nigeria and other businesses.
Through his remarkable mind, and interest in human development, Dr. Patrick Omoyeni, has within a few years of operating Fixit Nigeria, rightly earned himself the nickname ‘Dr. Fixit’.
In his quest to create jobs and impact more lives, Patrick founded Fixit Nigeria, a one-stop service place connecting people and businesses to showcase Nigerian export potentials globally. Dr. Patrick also co-founded Renamy Global Resources Ltd and Asher Superstores and Suites Ltd with his wife, Augustina.
Fixit Nigeria- a subsidiary of Renamy Group, which provides all the necessary services that everyone needs everyday through connecting people and businesses, both nationally and internationally, is a thriving aggregator in the services and trade industry, especially in Nigeria where it is actively bridging the gap between service needers and providers. In the words of its Founder/President, “Fixit is a divine idea from God.”
Prior to establishing Fixit Nigeria, Dr. Patrick Omoyeni, had been garnering global recognition for his role as Operations Manager at Palmadex Group, a non oil export company founded by his big brother and mentor, Dr. Benard Omoyeni. He has earned the highly coveted Africa’s Kwame Nkumah Transformational Leadership Award, to recognise his contribution to humanity by his sheer passion to impact lives across the continent and beyond.
Having undertaken highly tasking technical, leadership and operational responsibilities, Patrick has grown through the professional ranks at Palmadex Group, rising from the role of Technical Assistant to Operations Manager, the position he currently combines with the office of the Training Director at Palmadex Export Academy.
He also undertakes major roles in the smooth operations of Palmadex International General Trading LLC, Dubai and the company’s trade offices in other parts of the world.
He is currently the State Coordinator of Association of Nigerian Exporters, (the export sector apex organization)
His big brother and foremost mentor, Dr. Benard Omoyeni, expressed joy and glory to God for the blessing of the milestone.
“We bless God for occasion of his birthday celebration which gives us another opportunity to celebrate a multi talented, dogged and transformational leader and industry player.
“At Palmadex we celebrate his immesurable contributions to the growth and sustainability of the company in his role as the Operations Manager. His visionary leadership has continued to refine and deepen Palmadex leading roles in export sector of Nigeria’s economy.
The Palmadex Group wishes him the very best this new age, praying that his heart desires be fulfilled as He scales up the ladder of wisdom, excellence, prosperity and longevity. Congratulations,” Benard Omoyeni said.
Unknown to Dr. Patrick Omoyeni, his activities are being noted, and he is ingrained in the hearts of the people, especially those whose lives have been positively impacted through various initiatives.
This man after God’s own heart has brought grace and prestige to the positions he occupies; both as Operations Manager at Palmadex Group, and CEO of Renamy Group.
Patrick had his first degree from the University of Port Harcourt and afterwards obtained Masterclass Certificate in Business Management and Leadership at the London Graduate School and has gone on to receive a Doctorate in Humanities at the prestigious Commonwealth University, London. He also has a Doctorate in Public Administration from University of Nicosia, Cyprus.
Patrick Omoyeni, a fellow of various local and international institutes, became Chartered Management Consultant at the Institute of Chartered Management Consultants, Canada in 2021, and he holds an MBA in Project management from IIC University of Technology, Cambodia, where he is currently running a PhD program in Business Administration and International Trade at the same University.

It is remarkable that Patrick Omoyeni has been recognized by international communities, media, academia and traditional institutions, all before his golden jubilee, and this bears eloquent testament to his virtues of dedication to a better society and selfless service to humanity.
Interestingly, Omoyeni has been awarded a Street Name by the Lagos State Government in recognition of his contribution to the development of his immediate environment.
All these accolades coming the way of Omoyeni didn’t come by happenstance, they are the results from years of divine grace, hard work and commitment to leaving the world better than he met it.
The Fixit founder has influenced the emergence of several businesses through financial incentives and business grants.
Dr. Patrick Omoyeni is happily married to Dame Augustina, and they are blessed with 3 lovely children, Mimiola, Kikiola and Bibiola Omoyeni.
