According to him, Oyinlola is worth celebrating for his life of consistent commitment to public service in different capacities as a military officer, administrator and politician.

In these capacities, Sanwo-Olu said that Oyinlola remained one of the few Nigerian leaders who had contributed immensely to the growth and development of quite a few states and the country.

“Prince Oyinlola’s brilliance and administrative prowess were displayed during his tenure as the Military Administrator of Lagos State between Dec. 10, 1993 and Aug. 22, 1996.

“He did his best for the state despite the tense atmosphere Lagos experienced during the June 12, 1993 annulment struggle.

“He built several schools, general hospitals and housing estate in Lagos state. Some of the legacies he left behind are the Opebi Link Bridge and “Lagos House’’ which serves as the Governor’s Lodge Abuja,” the governor said.

According to Sanwo-Olu , Oyinlola also introduced the security outfit, ‘Operation Sweep’ to combat armed robbery in the state.

He described him as an epitome of dedication and selflessness in service.
