For the distinguished elder of the Yoruba Tennis Club and Past President of the Nigerian Institute of Structural Engineers, Arole Ezekiel Iyiola Omisore, it was a well-deserved honour as dignitaries, associates and friends celebrated his 90th birthday.

The Nonagenarian was filled with happiness as a symposium was held in his honour recently at the Greetings Hall of the Yoruba Tennis Club, Lagos.

Present at the symposium were the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo; Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos; Professor Oyewusi Ibidapo-Obe; Professor Peter Okebukola; Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi; Alhaji Femi Okunnu and many others.

The symposium, entitled, ‘Sustainability in the Built Environment: The Nigerian Perspective’, was an avenue where different speakers stressed the need for Nigeria to diversify the economy.

Professor Ibidapo-Obe, one of the guest speakers, described Pa Omisore as one of the first generation of Nigerian engineers, a pioneer builder of the nation which must be celebrated.

Omisore, who was employed by the government of then Western Region in the Ministry of Works as the first Nigerian Structural Engineer before he left to start the Engineering section of Design Group as an Associate Partner, is the Gbobaniyi of Ile-Ife, the Alatunse of the Cathedral Church Of Anglican, Ile-Ife and the Asiwaju Okunrin of the Christian Association of Nigeria.
