Seventy is a measure of the fullness of human life. It is a time to take stock and consolidate on how far one has come.
Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi has come far in what is unarguably a rounded life, one whose trajectory records a zest for commitment, for focus, for industry, and for achievements.
From our starry-eyed days as undergraduates at the Faculty of the Socal Sciences, University of Ibadan, Lynton, as we call him, had demonstrated a rare capacity to trade in ideas and their pragmatic connection to building human resources and organisational capability.
In other words, any one who moved with Lynton in those days would not only have become familiar with his push for how to make ideas relevant, but to think really big regarding what is attainable. This mindset took on an entrepreneurial relevance when Asiwaju left the UI campus and embarked on a career path that led from the Nigeria's oil sector, through his Supreme Consulting practice, and eventually and inevitably consolidated into the Ibadan Business School and its commitment to executive education and training.
This is then the story of a person who has a sense of self-worth, a sense that enables him to develop, over many years, a personality type that embodies cultural, social and professional style and accomplishment.
This eminent scion of ljesa land is more than an entrepreneur. He is humane; one that his extensive network of friends and associates will unreservedly commend as a friend indeed. His industrious and entrepreneurial spirit enable him to redirect personal gain, in indescribable measure, into community service through a readiness to invest from the heart in social capital.
In this his septuagenarian milestone, I join the numer ous well-wishers to wish him more fruitful years ahead.
IgbaQdún, odúnkan!
