With no shred of doubt, Dr Babatope Michael Agbeyo who is 50 years old today, Saturday, July 13, 2024, will surely attract an instant toast of writers and tribute-payers because there is much to say in admiration of this extra-ordinary personality.
At 50, you shine brighter as one who has made good for himself and for his country. You stand out as an investor and employer per excellence and through your brilliant investments, hard work, value to humanity and success, you have become one of the pillars of the Nigerian economy. You equally standout and remain the embodiment of Nigerian entrepreneurial spirit. Your focus, endurance and commitment to a prosperous Nigeria and indeed Africa have marked you out for greater glory.
Even the most dyed-in-the-wool cynics will find something complimentary to say about the man, Agbeyo as the elements seem to be well-mixed in this one ingenious and quintessential individual.
Unarguably, one risks the temptation of being carried away when faced with the task of paying tribute to such a celebrated personality, perfect gentleman and a personification of excellence. This notwithstanding, I hope will be able to unravel the inner man of this distinguished celebrant.
Here is a man with humble set of morals and an obsessive attention to details. Another thing most people equally admire about him is his neutrality when it comes to politics. Since he has become one of the successful men in the world, he has stayed away from the rigours that come with politics.
Politics in Nigeria as we know is laden with avarice and endless bickering between parties. It is a witch hunt that never seems to end. You, however, have simply minded your own business and focused on what is more important which is adding values to human capital and building capacity through ICT driven initiatives and bringing sustainable solutions to numerous human challenges.
However it is my prayer that the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Cornfield Group, comprising of Media Concepts International Limited, Botosoft Technologies Limited, Cornfield Transnational Limited and FOAM Studio Nigeria Limited will continue to fulfil his dreams and purpose without regrets.
Happy birthday to a solution provider in the education and ICT sectors, foremost industrialist, inventor, innovator and philanthropist. As July 13, 2024 heralds a new beginning in your life, I sincerely salute your large-heartedness and deployment of your wealth to the glory of God and for the good of humanity. May God bless your new age as you attain this remarkable milestone and may your joy knows no bounds. Congratulations.
