Late Pa Olatunji Fasuyi was born on October 12, 1942, in Ilesa, Osun State, to the family of Pa Jacob Olowookere Fasuyi and Madam Felicia Kokumo Fasuyi (both of blessed memory).
He began his early education in Ilesa before proceeding to Olivet Baptist Boys’ High School, Oyo, for his secondary education. Afterwards, he moved to Ibadan, where he joined Western Nigeria Television (WNTV), Africa’s first television station, which later became the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).
During his years at NTA, Pa Fasuyi undertook several journalism and media production courses, both within Nigeria and abroad. His dedication and professionalism saw him rise to the position of Production Manager. His promising career, however, was cut short by an early retirement in 1984 following the military takeover.
Undeterred, he went on to establish Arbil Advertising Agency, a media and public relations outfit that handled assignments for government agencies and private multinational companies.
A committed Rotarian and respected socialite, Pa Fasuyi served as President of the Rotary Club of Agodi, District 911, and was three times the Publicity Secretary of the Ibadan Recreation Club (IRC), Sabo, Ibadan.
A devout Christian, he lived a life defined by integrity, uprightness, and a strong work ethic—values he faithfully upheld until his passing. These virtues, along with a commitment to education, he instilled in his children.
Pa Olatunji Fasuyi passed on at the ripe age of 83. He is survived by five children: Hon. Bankole Fasuyi; Mrs. Adunola Oladapo, a media practitioner; Dr. Folarin Fasuyi; Mr. Olugbenga Fasuyi; and Engr. Olajuwon Fasuyi.
