Without sounding immodest, successful businessmen in Africa and particularly in our clime are not known to be humble, humane or caring. They are known more for brashness, arrogance and inflicting pain on the downtrodden. But, far from such, Chief Jimoh Salako a.k.a. Amekunlooye is a different kettle of fish.
An uncommon humble man, born almost seven decades ago, is not just humane, humble, lover of humanity, but exhibits practical service to God in all his endeavors, whether as a real estate merchant, human rights activist or as a trado-medical practitioner through which many lives have been impacted positively and socio-economically..
Even as the Almighty has blessed and favored him in numerous ways, he still portays himself as an icon of humility and contentment. No wonder the mighty and the low celebrate him today, January 29, his birthday anniversary.
Chief Amekunlooye, unlike most Nigerian businessmen is natural; he is real and down to earth. And right through all the companies where his Midas touch touched, including his numerous media friends and admirers, political associates it has been eureka and best wishes to this illustrious Nigerian.
People who have been close to him or followed the trajectory of his life diligently say Amekunlooye always administered his chains of businesses so efficiently that each of the businesses have become not just success stories over a short period, but have added value to many lives.
The Sexagenarian is not in any doubt cerebrated globally. From his impactful public and private life, there have been garlands of honours bestowed on him. Although other Nigerian business moguls throw lavish parties, engage in excessive yatching and travels to the most expensive cities, Amekunlooye has not let such inanity becloud his acumen. He keeps to modest lifestyle. He believes in supporting causes that positively impact those in the vulnerable segments of the society.
On this special day, we extend our heartfelt birthday felicitations to Chief Jimoh Salako aka Amekunlooye as he celebrates his birthday. His mentorship and leadership has been an inspiration and guiding light to many and we are honored to join in celebrating this milestone with him.
It is also our prayer that as he marks this special day, may he be filled with joy, blessings, and continued success. Congratulations sir.
