In a world often clouded by self-interest and material pursuits, Lion Sunday Babatunde Ajileye stands out as a radiant beacon of compassion and service. As the President of the Lion’s Club, Abeokuta Branch, and the founder of the SIB Foundation, Ajileye is touching countless lives across Nigeria with unwavering dedication and a heart full of generosity.
From students to widows, market women to children, Ajileye’s mission is simple yet profound, to uplift the underserved and restore hope where it once flickered.
Through the SIB Foundation, a non-profit organisation committed to reaching people in need, he has championed numerous initiatives including hunger relief projects and support for the Nigeria Correctional Service, providing essentials and inspiration to those often forgotten by society.
Ajileye’s philanthropic spirit is backed not just by his passion, but also by his thriving business ventures. He owns a couple of fuel stations, an event centre, gas plants, and several other enterprises. Yet, despite his success, he remains deeply grounded and community-focused.
“I’m always happy to help people,” he said with a warm smile when asked what drives his relentless outreach. His sincerity resonates deeply, especially in an age where genuine altruism is rare. His actions go beyond charity; they are acts of empowerment.
His message to the youth and others facing educational or financial barriers is equally inspiring: “Don’t write yourself off, even when you don’t have the opportunity to be educated.”
Under Ajileye’s leadership, the SIB Foundation continues to grow, breaking new ground and bringing light to dark corners of society. Whether feeding the hungry or encouraging the forgotten, his life work reflects the true meaning of leadership, serving others.
In Ilaro, and far beyond, Ajileye is not just a successful businessman or a community leader, he is a symbol of hope and generosity.
