Prof. Dayo Faduyile Felicitates with HRM Oba George Babatunde Faduyile (JP), Abodi of Ikale Land, on His Birthday
I heartily rejoice with my revered father and royal patriarch, His Royal Majesty, George Babatunde Faduyile, the Abodi of Ikale Land, as he marks his birthday today, March 3.
On this special occasion, I celebrate a monarch whose life has been defined by wisdom, courage, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the peace and progress of Ikale Land. Kabiyesi’s reign has remained a beacon of unity, cultural preservation, and purposeful leadership, not only for our people but for Ondo State and Nigeria at large.
As a son, I am profoundly grateful for the values of discipline, service, faith, and compassion which he instilled in me from childhood. These principles have guided my journey in medicine, leadership, and public service from my time as President of the Nigerian Medical Association to my current responsibility as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the Federal University of Education, Kontagora, Niger State.
Kabiyesi’s fatherly counsel and royal blessings remain priceless treasures in my life. His dedication to the unity and development of Ikale Land continues to inspire us all to strive for excellence and selfless service.
On behalf of my family, siblings and associates, I pray that Almighty God grants His Royal Majesty many more years in good health, strength, and divine wisdom to continue his impactful reign.
Long live Kabiyesi.
Long live Ikale Land.
Prof. Dayo Faduyile, OON, Pro-Chancellor & Chairman, Governing Council Federal University of Education, Kontagora,
