July 15 has been marked by an outpouring of tributes and goodwill messages as friends, colleagues, and associates celebrate the birthday of Reverend Oluwafemi Bamidele Adepoju, a respected media entrepreneur, mentor, and leader.
Widely described as a man of remarkable influence and integrity, Adepoju has earned a reputation for his unique blend of wisdom, warmth, and decisive leadership. Known fondly by admirers with nicknames such as “Keke Maruwa,” “Per Second Billing,” and “Otunba Felefele,” he is celebrated not only for his professional accomplishments but also for his personal impact on lives across different spheres.
As Chairman of Full Steam Communications and a driving force behind The Page News, Adepoju has distinguished himself in the media industry through storytelling that informs and inspires. However, many who paid tribute noted that his greatest legacy lies beyond the newsroom — in his role as a mentor and father figure to many.
Colleagues describe his counsel as direct and precise, often likened to “per second billing,” yet deeply transformative and constructive. His leadership style, they say, combines firmness with compassion, making him both respected and approachable.
“A selfless individual who lifts others even while climbing, Reverend Adepoju represents the rare kind of leader whose life speaks louder than his words,” one tribute read.
Beyond his professional identity as a journalist, he is widely acknowledged as a builder of people and a guide to emerging talents, consistently offering direction rooted in truth and genuine care.
As he marks another year, well-wishers continue to celebrate a life defined by purpose, service, and enduring impact, with prayers for long life, sustained strength, and a legacy that will resonate for generations to come.
