For his unwavering acts of generosity, sharing love as a sacred devotion and giving back to the society especially Ilara Kingdom in Lagos State, the revered monarch of the community, Oba Olufolarin Olukayode Ogunsanwo, has conferred chieftaincy titles on former Group Managing Director and Chief Executive officer of First Bank Plc, Dr. Olabisi Stephen Onasanya and his wife, Helen Olufunke.
The seasoned banker and chartered accountant was bestowed with the Akinrogun title while his wife became Yeye Akinrogun of IIara. The Onasanyas received the chieftaincy titles during the celebration of Oba Ogunsanwo’s third coronation anniversary penultimate Saturday in Ilara-Epe, Lagos.
The couple was honoured by His Royal Majesty for their contributions to the progress and development of Ilara. A few months ago, Onasanya, alongside a local chapter of Rotary International Club, in furtherance of their vision to support education through philanthropic works donated a multi-million naira block of classrooms to the Ilara Community. The block of six classrooms with a fully-equipped library at Ilara Model Primary School was commissioned by Oba Ogunsanwo.
