President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.); Governors Dapo Abiodun (Ogun); Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos); and Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa), among others, have paid tribute to the late founder of the First City Monument Bank, Otunba Olasubomi Balogun.
Balogun, who was the Otunba Tunwase of Ijebuland and the Asiwaju of Ijebu Christians before his death, passed on May 18, 2023 in a London hospital, following a brief illness. He was 89.
Balogun’s hometown, Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, was agog with dignitaries who gathered to honour the late Olori Omo Oba of Ijebuland.
Shettima, who represented the President at the burial held on Saturday, described the late Otunba as an “institution in the Nigerian banking sector and a model for generations of bankers.”
