Seasoned Politician, Ifedayo Abegunde, Hits 70 in Style 

Hon. Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde, better known to his admirers as Abena, is not just a seasoned professional or political figure; he’s a harmonious blend of both.

His journey has been a rich tapestry of engineering prowess, architectural brilliance and dedicated public service.

As a distinguished engineer, architect and politician, his varied forays endowed him with a plethora of skills and experiences.

Abegunde, who started life from a civil engineering background, enlarged his scope with architectural studies before finally moving into public service, starting at the esteemed chamber of the House of Representatives representing Akure North/Akure South Federal Constituency as a two-term lawmaker.

A former Secretary to Ondo State Government, the Akure-born technocrat is now the Executive Director, Corporate Services, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

As a professional, Abegunde’s career spanned across international borders to the US, where he showcased his technical prowess as a systems engineer for both the State of Maryland and the United States Patent and Trade Organisation.

In politics, his commitment to the public good has been evident. On Thursday, January 9, Abegunde got his positive testimonial when he finally joined the septuagenarians’ club.

On that landmark day, associates and well-wishers, including President Bola Tinubu and other dignitaries across the country heaped encomiums on him for his life accomplishments and contributions to mankind.

Blessed with an ever-smiling demeanour, quietude and composed nature, the man fondly called Abena on Friday, January 10, celebrated his platinum jubilee with elegance and style.
