​The Igbogbo community in Ikorodu Division, Lagos State, will on Sunday, November 1, 2026, witness a double celebration as prominent maritime industry stakeholder and businessman, Alhaji Sulaiman Ayokunle, is conferred with the religious title of Alakoso-Adeen of Igbogbo Central Mosque, alongside the official grand commissioning of his state-of-the-art multi-million-naira facility, Sula Royal Premium Complex Limited.

​The twin events are expected to attract traditional rulers, political leaders, maritime industry stakeholders, business executives, members of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents, religious leaders, family members, friends, and residents of Igbogbo and neighboring communities.

​While the chieftaincy conferment ceremony will hold at 9:00 a.m. at the Igbogbo Central Mosque, located at 7 Odofin Street, Igbogbo, Ikorodu; the reception and commissioning of the Sula Royal Premium Complex will follow immediately at noon at Nos. 41, 43, and 45 Oba Adeboruwa Road, Igbogbo.

​The conferment of the Alakoso-Adeen title on Ayokunle is in recognition of his significant contributions to the propagation of Islam, continuous philanthropy, community development, and selfless service to humanity. As a frontline builder of Igbogbo land, Ayokunle has over the years supported religious activities and community initiatives while providing assistance to the less privileged.

​Beyond his religious and philanthropic engagements, Ayokunle has established a strong presence in Nigeria’s maritime and logistics sector as the Chief Executive Officer of Sula Marine Services Ltd, a licensed customs agency based in Apapa, Lagos, specializing in freight forwarding, customs clearance, and supply-chain services.

He also serves as the Special Assistant on Media to the National President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents, Mr. Emenike Kingsley Nwokeoji, a role that further highlights his commitment to the freight forwarding industry.

​The commissioning of the Sula Royal Premium Complex marks a major milestone in his business career while opening up new commercial opportunities in hospitality, entertainment, event management, leisure, and wellness in the Ikorodu Division. Located along Oba Adeboruwa Road, the complex features three main sections designed to cater to a wide range of patrons and social events.

​The Sula Royal Hall serves as the primary event center with a seating capacity of 1,000 guests, complete with a VVIP section for distinguished patrons seeking a premium event experience. The Sula Royal Premium section offers wellness and hospitality services, including a modern gym, spa, kitchen and grill, family buffet services, and corporate office facilities.

Meanwhile, the Sula Funcity section is dedicated to family recreation and entertainment, offering games for adults and children, a swimming pool, and an outdoor bar.

​To guarantee seamless operations and guest convenience, the complex is backed by robust infrastructure, including a dedicated transformer, commercial standby generator, industrial inverter backup system, and extensive parking facilities. Ayokunle noted that the facilities were designed to deliver high-quality services comparable to standards available at top hospitality and entertainment centers across the country and abroad.

​The event will feature distinguished royal fathers, political figures, and industry leaders. The Royal Fathers of the Day are His Royal Majesty, Oba Semiudeen Orimadegun Kasali, the Adeboruwa of Igbogbo Kingdom, and His Royal Majesty, Oba Olusegun Oludolapo Ogunye, the Olotumokun of Abigi Kingdom. High Chief Adewunmi Ogunsanya, SAN, the Odofin of Ikorodu Kingdom, Baba Oba of Igbogbo Kingdom, and Chairman of MultiChoice Nigeria Limited, will chair the occasion.

​The Special Guests of Honour are Member of the House of Representatives representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency and Chairman of the House Committee on Defence, Hon. Babajide Adegoke Benson, and Mr. Emenike Kingsley Nwokeoji, National President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents. Other expected dignitaries include Prince Olusegun Oduntan, National Vice President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents, and Omo Oba Hammed Olalekan Aroyewun, Executive Chairman of Igbogbo/Bayeku Local Council Development Area.

Ayokunle disclosed that industry operators and colleague members who patronizes the Spa, Gym and Funfair centres will continue to enjoy reasonable discount while getting value for their money.

​Entertainment at the grand reception will be provided by iconic Fuji music star Alhaji Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, alongside DJ Kulet, Chief Executive Officer of Kulet Academy, and MC Prince Oladega Ibrahim as the event host.

​This milestone occasion effectively unites Ayokunle’s achievements in the maritime industry, his dedication to religious service, and his private investments aimed at promoting economic growth within his home community.
