Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, Oyo Central senatorial candidate under the banner of Team Seyi Makinde, has congratulated Arowosaye Saheed Adeyemi, popularly known as AROSAD, on his appointment as Chairman of the Pacesetter Minerals Development Company.

Ajadi described the appointment as a well-deserved recognition of Arowosaye’s contributions to public service, grassroots mobilisation and political development in Oyo State.

The congratulatory message coincided with celebrations marking Arowosaye’s birthday on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, turning the occasion into what attendees described as a double celebration for the newly appointed chairman.

Arowosaye was appointed by Governor Seyi Makinde on May 11, 2026, as part of ongoing efforts by the state government to strengthen governance structures and improve the development of Oyo State’s solid minerals sector.

Speaking during the birthday gathering attended by political stakeholders, party loyalists and community leaders, Ajadi praised Arowosaye’s loyalty to the administration and commitment to the development of the state.

According to him, the coincidence of the appointment and birthday symbolised a new phase of greater responsibility and service.

“I heartily congratulate my brother, Hon. Arowosaye Saheed Adeyemi, on his well-earned appointment as Chairman of Pacesetter Minerals Development Company. This appointment is a testament to his hard work, loyalty and his contributions to the growth of our party and the development of Oyo State,” Ajadi said.

He added that Governor Makinde’s decision reflected confidence in Arowosaye’s leadership abilities and capacity to deliver results in a sector considered critical to the state’s economic diversification agenda.

“The solid minerals sector holds enormous opportunities for Oyo State, and I am confident that Hon. Arowosaye will bring fresh ideas, transparency and purposeful leadership to the company. His appointment is not only a personal achievement but also a call to greater service for the people,” he stated.

Ajadi also prayed for continued success, good health and wisdom for the celebrant as he assumes the new office.

“As he marks his birthday today, I pray that Almighty God grants him wisdom, strength and many more years to serve humanity. It is my belief that this new role will open greater doors for him to contribute meaningfully to the progress of Oyo State,” he said.

Observers at the gathering described the appointment as significant at a time when Oyo State is increasing focus on its mineral resources as a potential driver of internally generated revenue and industrial development.

The Pacesetter Minerals Development Company is expected to coordinate investment, exploration and sustainable management of mineral resources across the state.
