In recognition of his contributions to the uplifting of the down trodden, the Group Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Grosvenor Global Services Ltd, Prince Olatunji Olusoji is to be installed as the Ene-Umola Ata-Igala on Sunday, June 21st 2026.
The installation is expected to be performed by the Atta Igala and President, Kogi State Council of Chiefs, His Majesty, Matthew Alaji Opaluwa Oguche Ankpa at his palace.
The epoch making event which will commence at 12noon is in recognition of a renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist with several charitable projects and programmes for the people of his hometown Ayere.
He is also the Chairman of Prince Olatunji Olusoji Foundation (PROOF), a Non Governmental Organisation that has sunk boreholes across Kogi West, Central and East to provide portable water and reduce waterborne diseases in rural communities.
In 2013, without any political affiliation or intention, he began distributing school bags and writing materials to students statewide.
His generosity has been felt at the College of Education, Ankpa, and College of Education (Technical), Mopa, with provision of scholarship to 100 students each.
He also donated ₦15m to sponsor 100 students at the College of Education for three years, another ₦15m to the College of Agriculture, and ₦30m to the Anglican College of Nursing and Health Technology, Ogidi-Ijumu.
His infrastructure projects include buildings at Prince Abubakar Audu University, Anyigba, and upcoming public toilets and motorized boreholes at Federal University Lokoja. He has also employed 32 new teachers for government schools in Ayere to strengthen grassroots education.
Olusoji’s agricultural interventions are measurable. His foundation is organizing agricultural insecticide support for over 450 farmers in Kogi West across five centers: Ijumu-Oke, Ijumu Arin, Gbede, Kabba, and Bunu, kicking off on Saturday 28th June 2025. He has also set up a ₦15m agricultural fund for farmers and small business owners, and built six rural markets in Ayere to boost local commerce.
Recently, during the Kogi State Security Summit and Fundraising held in Abuja, he donated ₦90m to support security infrastructure and operations, calling security a shared responsibility.
This is apart from the donation of seven patrol vehicles to Kogi West LGAs and supported the reconstruction of police stations.
This honour by the Atta Igala is no doubt a recognition of years of hard work, dedication and dexterity to the service of God and humanity.
