Family, friends, and distinguished dignitaries—including former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and his wife, Chief (Mrs.) Bola Obasanjo (wife of former President Olusegun Obasanjo), Gov. Alex Otti, the First Lady of Ogun State, and former Oyo State First Lady Mrs. Florence Ajimobi—gathered on Thursday at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, City of David, Trinity Towers in Victoria Island, Lagos, to pay their final respects during the funeral service.

The funeral service also drew a high-profile crowd of top political and financial leaders, including former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, African Development Bank President Akinwumi Adesina, Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service Dr. Zacch Adedeji, and former Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission Arunma Oteh, who all came to honor the deceased.

Speaking at the funeral service, Chief (Mrs.) Bola Obasanjo shared a fond personal memory involving the Adeosun family and her husband, former President Olusegun Obasanjo. She recalled a special day when Niyi Adeosun, accompanied by his brother and nearly their entire family, paid them a personal visit. During this memorable encounter, the late businessman did not just extend a formal invitation, but showed a deep level of respect that prompted the former president to pull the couple aside behind the curtain to speak highly of the character and reputation of the Adeosun family.

Turning her attention directly to the grieving widow and her family, Bola Obasanjo offered strong words of comfort and encouragement to help them navigate the painful loss. She urged Kemi and Femi to remain resilient during this difficult time, encouraging them to keep the family flag flying proudly. She emphasized that the seeds of impact Niyi had sown throughout his life would continue to germinate, ensuring that his vision and hard work remain alive through his loved ones.

In her concluding remarks, Obasanjo assured the bereaved family that Niyi Adeosun had successfully immortalized his name through his impactful actions, promising that his contributions would never be forgotten. The service ultimately highlighted his life as a prominent, highly respected Lagos businessman and a deeply devoted Christian. He leaves behind a powerful legacy of faith, family dedication, and community service that will inspire many for years to come.
