CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE AND PURPOSE: COMRADE JAMIU OLAOTI HONOURED AS LAGOS’ MOST OUTSTANDING NULGE CHAIRMAN ON HIS BIRTHDAY

For Comrade Jamiu Folarin Olaoti, leadership is not just a position - it’s a calling. And on Thursday, October 23, 2025, that calling was beautifully acknowledged as he was decorated with the “Most Outstanding NULGE Chairman in Lagos State” award - a feat that coincided with his birthday celebration, making the day one of double honour, gratitude, and inspiration.

The award, presented at the Eko Independence Patriot Award Ceremony held at Excellence Hotel, Ogba, was a fitting tribute to a man whose name has become synonymous with service, discipline, and commitment within the local government system.

As Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Ojokoro Branch   and Chieftaincy Officer of Ojokoro LCDA,  Comrade Olaoti has redefined grassroots unionism through purposeful leadership and a people-first approach. Under his watch, NULGE Ojokoro has flourished in unity, advocacy, and impact.

The celebration continued later at Starlad Garden, Abule Egba, where friends, colleagues, and family members converged to honour the exemplary leader. The event was filled with music, laughter, and warm tributes that painted a vivid picture of a man deeply loved by his people.

Friends and Colleagues described him as a “leader with a listening ear,” one who has earned trust through empathy and results, a man whose quiet strength continues to inspire confidence among his peers and subordinates alike.

In his appreciation remarks, Comrade Olaoti was visibly moved. He expressed heartfelt gratitude to God, his family, the Ojokoro LCDA management team, and NULGE members for their unwavering support, promising to remain steadfast in his pursuit of excellence and workers’ welfare.

The evening ended in a joyous symphony of dance, camaraderie, and celebration, a reflection of a life that touches many and a legacy still unfolding.

Indeed, Comrade Jamiu Folarin Olaoti stands today as more than an award recipient — he is a symbol of what visionary leadership, consistency, and compassion can achieve.
