Dr. Bosun Tijani: The True Unifier Ogun State Needs

By Oluwatosin Badmus

Honestly, if there’s anyone who truly represents the spirit of Ogun State as the Unifier, it’s Dr. Bosun Tijani. His life story connects him deeply to the entire fabric of the Gateway State — a man whose lineage, upbringing, and achievements mirror the diversity and strength of Ogun itself.

With his father hailing from Ilu Ata in Ilaro and strong family roots in Itoko, Abeokuta, and his mother from the respected Salako family of Ota, Dr. Tijani’s heritage spans the three senatorial districts of the state. His marriage into the Olunuga family of Odogbolu further cements his bond across Ogun’s social and cultural landscape, making him a true son of the soil in every sense.

Raised partly in Adigbe, Abeokuta, Dr. Tijani embodies the Omoluabi ethos — cultured, respectful, and forward-thinking. Despite his global acclaim as a visionary technocrat and innovator, he remains grounded, approachable, and passionate about progress.

A doer, a builder, and one of Ogun’s most respected global figures, Dr. Bosun Tijani represents the bridge between tradition and innovation. Perhaps this is the kind of youthful, progressive leadership Ogun State needs — one that builds on the solid foundations laid by our past and present leaders, while inspiring a future driven by unity, knowledge, and transformation.
