where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Building
Technology in 1989. Between 1989 and 1990, he was a proud Youth
Corp member rendering selfless service to his nation in the Katsina
State Housing Authority. His industrious nature, commitment to
duty, and amiable personality endeared him to the hierarchy of the
Federal Housing Authority, who rewarded him with an employment
in 1991 which he honored and was posted to Lagos.
The vicissitudes of life in Lagos coupled with the desire to make
ends meet, which the FHA salary then could not provide, led Oba
Mufutau Muhammed Oloyede Gbadamosi, Okikiola Esuwoye II to
willingly tender his resignation letter in 1997 to seek a better and
more rewarding greener pasture in the business of buying and
selling of rice, sugar, salt and cement. He has been successful in
business and rose to be the Chairman of MB Integrated Electrical
and Data Services Limited; Zarm Poultry and Feed mill industry,
Lagos; a Poultry business that prides itself as the biggest in Lagos
State and Yammfy Nigeria Limited ; a sister poultry farm located at
Ilemona, Kwara State. Yammfy Nigeria Limited is today adjudged to
be one of the biggest Poultry businesses in Nigeria.

endowed with an infrastructure of great and admirable character. He
is humility personified, unassuming, lovers of the downtrodden and
a giver to a fault. If Oba Mufutau Muhammed Oloyede Gbadamosi
Okikiola Esuwoye II has seen farther than this, it is by standing on
the shoulders of the giants. He is a respecter of person and has
great respect for all Offa sons and daughters and other Nigerians
irrespective of tribes and cultural differences. He is a detribalized
Nigerian.
A man who prides himself as the true son of Offa is always with
deep concern for others in times of need. He is a generous man and
a lot of people both home and abroad have benefited from his
magnanimity. Also because of his commitment and deep love for
Offa people, coupled with his innate desire to put Offa as a town on
the world map, he rebuilt Olofa’s Palace which had hitherto cry for
renovation and has since been completed and commissioned by His
Excellency, Dr. Bukola Saraki, the former Executive Governor of
