Administrative Service

Fadeyi also held various offices in the Presidency and various times and in intelligence capacity at the Ports of Lagos Apapa Quays, FOT FLT Onne, Okrika refinery among others. What you are speaks so loud that the world can’t hear what you say! They are looking at your walk, not listening to your talk; they are judging by our actions every day. Don’t believe you will deceive by claiming what you have never known, for they know you by what they can see, and they will judge by your life alone. This sums up the type of an officer and a gentleman Olugbenga is. His life reminds one of the excellent motto of the Stony Brook School, in Stony Brook, New York: “Character Before Career.” A definition of the word “Optimum Ant-nihil” also serves to define him: Fadeyi was always courageous and always powerful. He was a sailor who cared for the ship. He was not materialistic and maintained a well disciplined home His colleagues says he is a man of varied character, Some call Him Bill Gates because they see the philanthropist aspect of him, others call him Spartan King because in him they see strength courage and loyalty. In general His superiors say they saw in him humility, gentleness, an easygoing manner, a man who was slow to anger..

Social Life

He is an Enigma. He is faithful and yet detached. He is committed and yet relaxed. He loves everyone and yet no one. He is sociable but also a loner. He is gentle and yet tough. He is simple but also strict. He is passionate but can also be platonic. In short, he is predictable in his unpredictability. Who is He?
