BUNMI JENYO AWARDED BEST COMMISSIONER IN NIGERIA, DEDICATES IT TO HIS PRINCIPAL, ADELEKE DYNASTY, OTHERS
The Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in Osun State, Rev. Dr. Bunmi Jenyo has been awarded the Best Commissioner in Nigeria, by the National Leadership Awards 2026.
Dr. Jenyo was decorated with the prestigious award at the Banquet Hall, Nigerian Merit House, Maitama Abuja, on Thursday, 4th June, 2026.
The National Leadership Awards Selection Committee has reached out to the Commissioner in two separate letters dated 1st April and 5th May, 2026, urging him to receive the award, as the winner of the competitive honour.
The letters read in part, “we have watched your activities in the State and how you have steered the activities of your Ministry, thereby providing purposeful leadership and assisting His Excellency in governing the State well, hence, your nomination”.
“We encourage you to accept this award in good faith and avail yourself the opportunity to be there. Power is transient and more importantly, political position is like a barber’s chair. When you sit on it, you forget that time is running, and when the barber finishes, he asks you to go, for another person to sit. It is not permanent!”
“Take full opportunities now, for it will not last forever. Politicians are only remembered for what they did and the laurels they acquired while in office. This is one of such laurels”.
Meanwhile, the newly decorated Best Commissioner in Nigeria 2026, Dr. Jenyo has reacted, giving Glory to GOD, and dedicating the award to the State Governor, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, Dr. Deji Adeleke, Yeye Modupeola Adeleke-Sanni, the entire Adeleke Dynasty of Ede and the staff of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
According to the Commissioner, the feat could not have been attained without the prior and consistent support of his immediate family, his Principal, Governor Adeleke and his cooperating staffers, who work conscientiously in the area of economic transformation agenda of the current administration of Osun State.
According to the Commissioner, “I give GOD the glory for this special honour and dedicate this award to His Excellency, Senator Asiwaju Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke and the entire Adeleke dynasty under the leadership of Dr. Adedeji Tajudeen Adeleke for giving me the opportunity to serve as Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Osun State.”
“I also appreciate the entire staff of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Osun State for their undiluted dedication and support for me since I assumed the position as Commissioner.”
He also appreciated the Committee for their integrity, dedication and determination. “Special thanks to the National Leadership Award selection Committee for their unbiased judgment during their selection, l say kudos to their team”, he said.
Congratulatory messages have since started flowing in from all walks of life and figures across the globe, to celebrate with the awardee.
The National Leadership Awards ‘Best Commissioner of the Year’ annually goes out to only one person throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
