Sir Kessington Adebunola Adebutu, the 91‑year‑old Odoole of Yorubaland, donated a multi‑billion‑naira state‑of‑the‑art building to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund a day before his 91st birthday celebration.
Known as Baba Ijebu, Adebutu is a billionaire businessman whose philanthropic work has spanned decades. He is widely recognised for his generosity, which he describes as a natural part of his identity.
The donation to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund is a substantial, state‑of‑the‑art building that will serve the security needs of the state. The gift was presented as a gesture of giving back to society rather than a personal celebration.
Adebutu’s long‑standing commitment to philanthropy is evident in his continued support of community projects. His actions demonstrate a philosophy that true wealth is measured not only by what one accumulates but also by what one gives away in service to humanity.
The multi‑billion‑naira building stands as a tangible legacy of Adebutu’s enduring signature of generosity, reinforcing his reputation as a philanthropist who sees giving as a way of life.
