  • FAEO appoints Nigerian engineer, Idowu, to continental capacity development committee* The Federation of African Engineering Organisations (FAEO) has named Nigerian engineer and Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), Engr. Olumayowa Ayodeji Idowu, FNSE, among 39 professionals appointed to its Capacity Building Committee for a two-year term. The appointment, confirmed in an official communication dated October 14, 2026, followed an assessment process conducted in accordance with the federation’s Rules of Procedure. FAEO expressed confidence in Idowu’s professional experience and his ability to contribute to initiatives aimed at strengthening engineering capacity and institutional development across Africa. Idowu, a former Chairman of the NSE Abeokuta Branch, currently leads the NSE Branch Chairmen Forum, which brings together branch chairmen from across Nigeria and the diaspora. Beyond his national responsibilities, he serves on a key committee of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) and is a member of its Hackathon Task Force, where he participates in international initiatives promoting engineering innovation, collaboration and professional development. The continental committee, chaired by Eng. Shammah Kiteme Munyoki of Kenya, comprises engineering professionals from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Angola, among other countries. Engr. Abosede Adewole is also representing Nigeria on the committee, which is expected to support FAEO’s efforts to enhance professional competencies, knowledge exchange and engineering capacity development across member countries. Speaking on the appointment, Idowu described it as an opportunity to contribute to Africa’s engineering transformation. “I sincerely appreciate the confidence reposed in me by the leadership of FAEO. This appointment presents another opportunity to promote engineering education, professional excellence and institutional collaboration. I look forward to working with colleagues across the continent to strengthen capacity-building initiatives and expand opportunities for young engineers,” he said. He called for stronger partnerships between academia, industry and professional engineering institutions to address Africa’s technological and skills gaps. “Africa cannot afford to remain behind in a rapidly changing technological world. We must invest in developing a competent, innovative and globally competitive engineering workforce while ensuring that academic training responds to industry needs and emerging technologies,” he stated. The appointment is expected to enhance Nigeria’s participation in continental engineering development efforts, particularly in promoting professional capacity building, technical knowledge sharing and the development of engineering skills required to drive innovation, industrial growth and sustainable development across Africa.

FEATURE

In a world often consumed by the pursuit of material wealth, Ambassador Babatunde Adeyemo stands out as a beacon of hope and compassion.

The Oko-Opo Foundation, under his visionary leadership, has emerged from the depths of his passion for adding value to people’s lives.

Ambassador Adeyemo passionately asserts that no amount of money can truly secure the future of one’s children. Instead, he believes that the key to sustaining wealth lies in building institutions and actively enriching the lives of others as the best legacy and inheritance.

Oko-Opo Foundation is not merely a charitable endeavour; it is a meticulously crafted strategic plan and life long ambition of the young philanthropist. Ambassador Adeyemo envisions a future where his success translates into a lifeline for those in need.

Astonishingly, he has pledged approximately 90 percent of his wealth to support the less fortunate, reaffirming his commitment to a modest lifestyle.

The foundation is designed with strategic intent.

It allocates a significant portion of Adeyemo’s investments to assist widows who find themselves in dire circumstances following the loss of their husbands.

These widows, often left homeless, face housing challenges and societal embarrassment. Oko -Opo Foundation is determined to address their unique needs with unwavering compassion.

With an unshakable belief in the foundation’s potential, Ambassador Adeyemo is compiling a comprehensive list of vulnerable individuals who will benefit from its outreach.

While the foundation’s official launch was initially scheduled for September 11 2023 , it has been rescheduled to December, affording ample time for meticulous planning.

Importantly, once the foundation is set in motion, it will be an unwavering force for good.

Ambassador Adeyemo sees the foundation as the canvas upon which he will exercise his entrepreneurial and developmental skills towards promoting crusade.

Moreover, he is passionately grooming his children to carry forward the torch of Oko -Opo Foundation, ensuring that its legacy endures for generations to come.

For Ambassador Adeyemo, philanthropy is not just a passing project; it is a lifelong commitment.

He firmly believes that there are two primary avenues to touch people’s lives in a country like Nigeria: politics or philanthropy. While some may choose the path of politics, Ambassador Adeyemo’s personal conviction leads him to focus on philanthropy as the vehicle through which he can make a profound and lasting impact.

Oko -Opo Foundation is rooted in Ogun State, and it draws inspiration from the admirable efforts of individuals like Agbala Gabriel and others, though Oko Opo planned to be unique in his style of Delivery.

What sets Ambassador Adeyemo’s foundation apart is its resolve to lead by example by dedicating a substantial portion of its resources to bring about tangible change in the society.

With a robust presence on social media, Oko- Opo Foundation aims to connect with like-minded individuals who share the same dedication to make the world a better place.

The foundation’s sincerity and unwavering commitment have already garnered significant support from individuals eager to join this noble cause.

As the Foundation prepares to embark on its philanthropic journey, one thing is abundantly clear: Ambassador Babatunde Adeyemo’s vision is not just a fleeting endeavour; it is a legacy in the making.

His dedication to compassion and generosity is being passed down to future generations, ensuring that the foundation’s impact will endure for years to come.
