Olajubu emerges as South-West SWAN Patron

The SWAN Zonal Vice-President, Adeboye Ajayi, led chairmen and secretaries of the SWAN Chapters in the South-West to Ado-Ekiti to perform the ceremony.

“We decided to give Asiwaju Oyedeji Olajubu an award for his contributions to sports development in Ekiti and Nigeria as a whole.

“SWAN in the South-West deliberately appointed Olajubu, who is also a certified engineer, as its patron because he is an achiever and a sports lover.

“He is a philanthropist and a sports enthusiast who can help take sports to the next level in the South-West and beyond.

“I am highly delighted to recognise and give an Award of Excellence to Asiwaju Oyedeji Olajubu as the new South-West SWAN Patron for his meritorious services to humanity and to sports development,” Ajayi said.

‎In his remarks while responding, Olajubu thanked the Zonal Vice-President and all SWAN members in the zone for honouring and appointing him as their patron.
