LAGOS, Nigeria – He’s the man who holds the keys to Nigeria’s lottery empire, and today, he’s celebrating a massive jackpot of his own—turning NINETY years young!
Sir Kessington Adebukunola Adebutu, the legendary Chairman of Premier Lotto (known to millions as “Baba Ijebu”), yesterday marked his nonagenarian milestone. And no one is celebrating the Lotto King more loudly than the people he’s helped with his generosity.
The business mogul and renowned philanthropist was hailed as a “National Icon” by Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who led the tributes to the wealthy elder statesman.
90 Years of Giving.
While most of us dream of winning his money, Sir Kessington has spent his decades creating wealth and, crucially, sharing it.
Governor Sanwo-Olu was quick to point out that Adebutu hasn’t just built a massive enterprise; he’s “impacted many lives” by providing jobs and “sustaining families.”
“He is a good example of a selfless leader who deserves all the accolades at 90 for his life of impact and positive contribution,” the Governor said in a statement.
Forget winning the lottery for a moment—for thousands in his hometown of Iperu-Remo, Ogun State, Sir Kessington is the lottery, with his millions poured into local communities, religion, and sports.
The business titan has been called a respected role model who inspires young Nigerians to chase enterprise and diligence.
As he joins the exclusive club of nonagenarians, the whole country is wishing the generous lottery boss good health.
He’s certainly proven that when you give back, life can pay out in big ways!
