“Young age never stopped you from having big dreams and goals. Now as we mourn your departure, we know that whatever you set in mind you accomplished. You were bright and intelligent, and we know that God has you in His glory. Rest in peace dear friend."

Akeem was born on June 12, 1971 to a devout Muslim family in Ogun state. His father was Egba and mum is from Ijebu-Ode. Akeem studied Economics at the Lagos State University and obtained an MBA from the University of Uyo. He carried out his NYSC in Akwa Ibom State. Akeem also went through the strategic supply chain leadership program of the Ontario Supply Chain Management Association (Canada) and qualified as a certified supply chain management professional (CSCMP)

He was an enterprising and self-driven young man who lost his father in his first year in the University. He was undeterred and had to work hard to see himself through school and graduated with Honors.  He was recruited by the defunct Century Merchant Bank right from the NYSC orientation camp. He joined the Mobil Producing Nigeria Procurement department in 1998 and excelled in all responsibilities he was assigned. Akeem had a very big appetite for learning and hard work. His work day typically started at about 6.30am and finished at 8.00pm. He accomplished quite a lot in his short sojourn on earth and rose to through the ranks to become Manager, North West Supply Chain for Mobil Producing Nigeria.

Akeem was a dedicated family man. He had very high hopes and plans for his family and took their welfare very seriously. He spared no cost to train his kids and would often push them hard to achieve their potentials.

Akeem was a devout Muslim who strived to be a great ambassador of the faith. He was a very fair minded individual who strived to be equitable in all his deeds. We will all miss his gentle mien, friendship and his kindness. May his soul rest in peace.
