Popularly called “Yayi”, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola is a Nigerian politician who has served as Senator for Ogun West since 2023.
He previously served as the Senator from Lagos West from 2015 to 2023.
From 2011 to 2015, he was the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts.
He is also a chartered accountant and a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT).
Born on the 10th of August, 1969, at Lagos Island Maternity Hospital, Senator Adeola celebrates his 56 years birthday on Sunday and ace journalist, Abimbola Bamgbose-Oladele pays glowing tribute to the Ogun State Politician;
“Today, we celebrate a man whose life’s work has been defined by service, vision, and an unwavering commitment to the betterment of others — Distinguished Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, fondly known to many as YAYI.”
“At 56, Senator Adeola stands not only as a public servant but as a symbol of purposeful leadership. From his early days in the Lagos State House of Assembly to his current role as Senator representing Ogun West and Chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, he has consistently placed the needs of his constituents at the heart of his agenda.”
“His achievements speak with quiet power — transformative strides in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic empowerment have touched lives across Ogun West and beyond. Women’s empowerment programmes, scholarships, bursaries, and life-changing infrastructural projects bear testimony to a leadership rooted in empathy, foresight, and inclusion. Indeed, while he serves Ogun West, his impact resonates strongly in Ogun East, Ogun Central, and far beyond state borders.”
“Senator Adeola’s humility, patience, and openness have earned him the trust and admiration of those he serves. He has an uncommon gift for listening, understanding, and acting decisively — qualities that have made him not only a political figure but a pillar of hope for many.”

“Happy 56th Birthday, Distinguished Senator YAYI. You are a rare gem, a shining example of leadership with heart, and a constant reminder that public office can truly be a platform for lasting good.”
