Some names echo through the corridors of power with bombast. Others slip in like a well-oiled hinge — quiet, functional, indispensable. Bayo Otunola might just be the latter.
Though not one for front-page drama or photo-op politics, Otunola is, by many accounts, thriving under the Tinubu administration. The serial entrepreneur, political scientist, and Managing Director of TwinsFaja Nigeria Limited, has made his mark not with bluster but with a blend of quiet strategy and relentless pragmatism. In the shifting tides of Nigerian governance, he’s proven to be a man who sails skillfully.
TwinsFaja isn’t just a name; it’s a brand etched into the country’s building industry. From cement to steel, roofing sheets to reinforcements, the company has become a cornerstone supplier for everyday construction, brick by literal brick. Under Otunola’s stewardship, it has morphed from a local business to an influential player, known for marrying quality with grit.
What sets Otunola apart, insiders say, is his ability to navigate business and governance without crashing into either. He’s no stranger to political machinery; his degree in political science from the University of Ilorin adds a thoughtful, analytical layer to his enterprise mindset. Those close to him describe him as “a motivator,” “a strategist,” and, in typical Nigerian fashion, “a man of the people.”
In an era where many appointees are grappling for the spotlight or survival, Otunola seems content in the background, where real influence brews. Whether he’s crafting distribution chains for cement or opening quiet doors in Abuja, he’s reportedly doing both well—very well, according to those watching.
So, while the headlines chase louder names and scandals, Otunola continues to play a long, measured game. His rise may not be explosive, but like a good foundation, it’s holding up just fine. And considering how many others are complaining, Otunola’s skies are bright and colourful under the present administration.
