Stating that there is a lot to learn from the selflessness, commitment, success, loyalty to the cause of humanity, and humility from the Obaterus, Olarewaju called on other indigenes to emulate the good deeds of the two Ph.D holder-twins.
The event held on Tuesday 27th December, 2022 at the New Palace Site, Owode Market, Along Ilorin-Kabba Highway (Opposite the medical Center), Eruku, Ekiti Local Government Area, Kwara State, was attended physically and virtually by dignitaries including Engr, Francis l. Obateru, Dr. John A. Obateru, and Team Lead, Platforms Africa, Adeola Yusuf.
Pouring eulogies on the Obaterus, Adeola Yusuf, said that honour from home on Dr. Kennie and Dr. Taye Obateru, is a testament that they did not lose touch with their roots despite their achievements and success I life.
“Dr. Kennie Obateru is a member of Platforms Africa forum, an ex-Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs of the NNPC, who pays close attention and contributes meaningfully to any cause of humanity and human development. He left NNPCL but his legacies abound. It is therefore so soothing to know that Dr. Kennie, like Dr. Taye his twin brother, is a prophet who is honoured even at home.
“And, on behalf of all the resource persons, colleagues and members of Platforms Africa from across the continent, we say hearty congratulations to the Obateru Twins, Drs. Kennie and Taye Obateru..”
