CELEBRATING ELDER J.A. ADEGBITE AT 80: A FELLOW CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT JOINS OCTOGENARIANS CLUB.

On Friday, July 10, 1942, a promising son was born into the Adegbite Dynasty of Sagamu by Chief Joseph and Mrs Felicia Akinbowale Adegbite, in Itunposi area of Ofin, Sagamu, Ogun State. 


The boy was the second son born by that wealthy farmer nicknamed "Mogaji, Ojikutu Pile Oro", after many years of waiting to have him in his old age. And the baby was Christened Johnson Adekunle Adegbite. 

Although the boy, whose grandfather, Chief Osonaike Adegbite, was also wealthy and a successful farmer, lost his father in his pre-teenage. 

Little Adekunle grew up, weathered all storms, to attend primary and secondary schools. He thereafter studied further until he became a chartered accountant(ACA) and later a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigeria(FCA).

Here is a man who has worked in many private and public companies, including the then government owned Post & Telecommunications( P&T) Department, which became Nigeria Telecommunications Plc(NITEL) and Nigeria Postal Service(NIPOST).


He at a time worked as an accountant with HACO Plc(a Division of John Holt Group of Companies), Lagos, He thereafter became the General Manager of the International Poly Works Limited(IPCL), Ipaja, Lagos.


He later founded his own company, Kunle Adegbite & Co ( a firm of Chartered Accountants) in Lagos. 

Pa Adegbite, who leads a quiet life, as a silent achiever, is an Elder in The Redeemed Christian Church of God in his Parish/area level and Chairman of Community Development Association(CDA) in his area in Lagos State.

His marriage with "omo Baba Teacher", Mrs Elizabeth Adeola Adegbite(a.k.a Queen Elizabeth of Lagos) is blessed with good children and many grandchildren.




Today, Sunday July 10, 2022, Elder Johnson Adekunle Adegbite, a senior citizen in Nigeria, Vice Chairman of Adegbite Royal Family of Sagamu, joined the Octogenarians Club, as he clocked 80years. 


To this end, we express 80hearty cheers for this milestone birthday.
