Colleagues describe him as a mentor and institution builder, known for an open-door leadership style and a commitment to nurturing younger officers.

Many staff members credit his guidance for their professional growth and for the improved operational standards within the Department he led.

A retirement ceremony has been scheduled for January 15, 2026, where family members, colleagues, and well-wishers are expected to celebrate a public servant whose career exemplified perseverance, integrity, and service to the people of Ogun State.
