BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY: CELEBRATING A PHILANTHROPIST, INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MOGUL, COMMUNITY LEADER AND EMERGING POLITICAL RALLYING POINT, DELE PHILIPS
It’s the story of a prominent son of Ekiti State who has passion for human and societal development.
Bamidele Martins Phillips hails from Aramoko-Ekiti in Ekiti West local government area of the fountain of knowledge in the land of Honour.
An enterprising man who has succeeded in achieving a great degree of his heart’s desires both in academics and businesses in Nigeria and overseas.
It’s on record that his involvement in real estate and hospitality industry has become a reference point with the various establishments that have provided jobs for over 300 people.
In line with his passion to lift up individuals and collective people around him, he put in place Dele Philips Foundation which facilitated numerous Interventionist programmes that have touched both the young and the old in his constituency as well as Ekiti State in general.
Through the Dele Philips Foundation, about 100 women from Ekiti Central Federal Constituency 2 comprising Ekiti West, Efon and Ijero local government areas benefitted from the empowerment programmes of the foundation.
Apart from numerous primary and secondary school pupils who are benefiting from scholarship schemes, infrastructural Intervention has also been recorded in communities which include Ido-Ile in Ekiti West local government area.
In terms of political involvement, contributions of Dele Phillips to the success of the All Progressives Congress (APC) both at local and state levels created a rallying point for members and leaders.
While vehicles were donated towards the governoship campaign of the candidate of the party, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, offices in his constituency at Efon Alaaye, Ijero and Aramoko-Ekiti were put in place and tastefully furnished.
During the electioneering process of the current Governor of Ekiti State, Dele Philips was appointed as the Chairman of BAO Campaign Committee in Ekiti West local government area.
He has since gained a high degree of recognition as a community leader, philanthropist and a rallying point in the political existence of the entire state.
As you celebrate your birthday this year, it is the prayer on the lips of many that heavens will keep presiding over your affairs.
There is no doubt that Dele Philips will continue to justify the confidence the people, both in the urban and rural areas have in him and as they also continue to have a feel of impact on the society as well as the humans.
It’s our collective prayers that heavens will keep expanding your SHORES and create more opportunities and platforms for you to be recognised.
A seyi samodun to our darling pride.
A samodun see mii to ‘ojulowo Omo Ekiti to ja fafa’!
