Muhammad Ali, a renowned professional boxer once said: “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”
Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi, the Ajia Olubadan of Ibadanland and Chairman of Ilaji Hotels and Sports Resort, embodies this spirit of selflessness and community service through his recent initiative: the concrete rehabilitation of the Ariyo-Akanran Road in Ona Ara Local Government Area, Oyo State.
His commitment to community development shines brightly as he embarks on yet another project aimed at improving the lives of local residents and commuters.
The announcement of this rehabilitation project has ignited a wave of joy among the community, who have long faced transportation challenges on this vital route.
As news spread, residents and passersby gathered to express their gratitude, offering prayers and well-wishes for Chief Sanusi’s continued efforts. His philanthropic gestures resonate deeply within the community, reflecting a genuine concern for the well-being of those he serves.
Local resident Mr. Jonathan Joseph articulated the sentiment shared by many when he praised Sanusi’s unwavering support for infrastructural development.
“He has consistently provided the support we need,” Joseph remarked, highlighting the positive impact of Sanusi’s work on the daily lives of the people in Ona Ara.
His appeal to Oyo State Governor Engr. Seyi Makinde to expedite the dualisation project linking Ariyo-Dagbolu to Ijebu Igbo further underscores the community’s eagerness for continued progress.
Echoing this sentiment, Asoju Odo Alawode Rahmon Akintunde, the Coordinator of the Ona Ara Local Government Youth Stakeholders Forum, expressed heartfelt appreciation on behalf of the youth.
“Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi is a man of the people who continues to save Ona Ara with his generous acts of philanthropy,” he said.
His presence at the rehabilitation site symbolises the youth’s solidarity and support for Sanusi’s initiatives, showcasing a united front in the pursuit of community betterment.
Sanusi’s consistent investment in local infrastructure not only positions him as a pivotal figure in community development but also inspires hope among residents.
As the community rallies behind him, there is a collective call for further infrastructural improvements, such as the Olorunsogo-Dagbolu main road project, to complement his efforts.
Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi’s unwavering commitment to the welfare of his community serves as a reminder that true leadership lies in the service of others, setting a standard for others to follow in the quest for progress and development as Winston S. Churchill once said: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
