Idris Olorunnimbe Honoured With Asoju Oba 

 Receiving a chieftaincy title from the Oniru of Iru-land, Oba Gbolahan Lawal, is no ordinary event. It is a significant recognition of extraordinary contributions to society, culture, and community development. 

In this context, the selection of Idris Ibikunle Olorunnimbe, the Group Chief Executive of The Temple Company, to receive the prestigious title of Asoju Oba of Iru Kingdom is both timely and well-deserved. This honour, presented as part of the celebration marking the fifth anniversary of Oba Gbolahan Lawal’s peaceful reign, is a tribute to excellence, impact, and the kingdom’s forward-thinking vision. 

For Iru-Land, Lagos, and Nigeria, Olorunnimbe’s chieftaincy title serves as a light of what is possible when excellence is fostered and celebrated. This recognition highlights a man whose contributions span culture, the creative economy, and community development, emphasizing the global acknowledgment of his efforts in elevating Nigerian art and culture onto the world stage. 

At a time when Afrobeats is a global sensation, Olorunnimbe’s influence has been crucial in shaping its narrative. As the owner of a cutting-edge studio, he has created a platform that has set new standards for Afrobeats and contemporary African music production. The GCC nurtures raw talent, shaping them into world-class professionals. Such a remarkable legacy deserves to be celebrated and honoured. On Saturday, June 14, Iru-land will gather at the Aafin Oba Oniru Palace in Victoria Island, Lagos, to honour one of its most distinguished sons.
