The Global Reminder Alarm has continued to ring endlessly for days now to alert well-wishers across the world to get set for a thunderous standing ovation in celebration of a sociable global icon and model of rare femininity, nobility, credibility, generosity, cordiality and humility, Yeye Otunba Adesola Mutiat Odeyeyiwa, as she mounts the global podium for another impressive birthday celebration on June 25.
For Yeye Adesola Odeyeyiwa, life is about total simplicity and humility irrespective of the magnitude of your massive accomplishments in life. Little wonder that she is admired by many people. This Executive Director of Repton Group with exceptional leadership acumen is a mixed bag of brilliance, intelligence, excellence, diligence and resilience. She is indeed a Professor of Resilience, in the Department of Endurance, Faculty of Perseverance and University of Determination despite her elegant nature. These attributes readily account for her remarkable success in all her endeavours.
Yeye Adesola Odeyeyiwa is an astute entrepreneur endowed with rare passion for people development, corporate accomplishments and societal transformation. Through her entrepreneurial ingenuity, laudable corporate leadership skills and innovative ideas, she has been able to successfully manage Repton Group with her encyclopedic soulmate, Otunba Odeyeyiwa Kazeem Olayemi, MD/CEO of the Group, to achieve exceptional corporate success.
For instance, only last month, the Group, with subsidiaries such as Kazab Heritage Limited, Defrost Ventures Limited, Continental Vision, Kazab Homes and Properties, Ibile Farm and Kazab Oil and Gas, clinched both the award of 2024 National Largest Distributor of Dangote Cement in Nigeria and City People Award of Excellence in the Building Material Sector. Specifically, the Group won both awards through its cement distribution subsidiary, Kazab Heritage Limited, at the Dangote Cement Customers Awards and Gala Night on Tuesday, May 27 and City People Awards on Sunday, May 25, respectively in Lagos.
It would be recalled that last year, Repton Group first emerged as the 2023 National Largest Distributor of Dangote Cement in Nigeria after having come second consecutively for three years, through the same superlative subsidiary.
What’s more, Yeye Adesola Odeyeyiwa is also the MD/CEO, A&T Ventures, a flourishing company reputable for being the major distributor of Coca-Cola and Seven Up beverages in the South Western Part of Nigeria.
Yeye Adesola Odeyeyiwa, a Theatre Arts graduate from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, is also a trained Journalist with an Ordinary National Diploma in Mass Communication. She has attended several advanced business management programmes, among others.
As this global queen and icon is a year older, or should I even say “younger”, may she continue to enjoy divine favour and celebrate many more years of great accomplishments and continuous remarkable impacts in her service to humanity.
Congratulations Ma, our magnificent and sartorial Yeye Adesola Odeyeyiwa.
