These are good times for popular Lagos politician, Princess Islamiyat Oyefusi. She recently won a Humanitarian award. She won the Edith Chaward Foundation Humanitarian Award of Appreciation, recognised by the UN. It was awarded on World Humanitarian Day on 19th August 2023.
No doubt, the name Hon. Princess Islamiyat Oyefusi has become a recurring decimal in Lagos political setting. That is understandable because she hails from a background of politicians. Her father, the late Ayangburen of Ikorodu, was a man of many parts. Her late uncle, Chief Adeniran Ogunsanya, a household name in the First and Second Republics, was a politician of repute. Her aunty, Denrele Ogunsanya, of blessed memory, was a former SSG in Lagos State. While politics runs in the family, to her getting involved in it is an act of service.
Therefore, it didn’t come as a surprise to many when the Labour Party picked her as the Deputy Governorship Candidate in the last general elections. To those yearning for change in the political landscape, governance and administration of Lagos State, Islamiyat Oyefusi is regarded as a frontrunner among the rising stars in the political arena.
Many didn’t know that this daughter of late Ayangburen of Ikorodu is a graduate of Aberdeen Law School; not only that, but she also holds an MBA in International Business from the University of Hull.

Beyond these, Princess Oyefusi has over 25 years of board and public sector experiences developing governance framework and managing multi-million dollar projects. She is currently the governance partner for TLGP Partnership. This honourary member of the West Africa Women’s Association is a strong advocate for women’s equality and rights working with various NGOs such as Lawyers Without Borders. Princess Oyefusi also currently serves on boards of various NGOs such as Soul Lifters and Global Girl Child Development.
Princess Islamiyat Oyefusi’s competence, humanitarian activities, and extensive network in Nigeria make her a compelling and towering figure. Her track record in providing succour to many lives can not be denied, and her efforts to put smiles on people’s faces have also endeared her to many.
Beyond words, Princess Oyefusi’s commitment to service is evident in her pragmatic policies and initiatives. Recently, her free medical initiative for Lagosians who have health challenges was the topic of the town. Those who benefited from the initiative saw it as a welcome development. The people showered encomium on a politician who understands where the shoe pinches. Thus, her dedication to addressing such challenges is regarded as the mark of a promising leader.
