Nigeria’s first son, Mr. Oluwaseyi (Seyi) Tinubu, on Monday, October 13, 2025, marked his 40th birthday anniversary, drawing a wave of goodwill messages from political leaders, business associates, family, and admirers across the country.
The celebration, which reportedly held in a modest but colourful manner in Lagos, attracted heartfelt tributes describing Seyi Tinubu as an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and youth development advocate whose contributions continue to resonate beyond the political influence of his family name.
Seyi, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Loatsad Promomedia, a leading outdoor advertising company. He also sits on the board of several organizations and has championed multiple initiatives geared towards youth empowerment, entrepreneurship, and social impact.
In a message circulating on social media, a close ally described him as “a leader with a strong sense of responsibility to his generation.” The statement further read:
“At 40, Seyi Tinubu represents a rare blend of humility, innovation, and patriotic drive. His quiet contributions to education and youth empowerment projects speak louder than words.”
Prominent Nigerians, including youth organizations and members of the business community, also extended their felicitations, commending his steady efforts in mentorship, philanthropy, and corporate innovation.
Over the years, Seyi Tinubu has been actively involved in humanitarian projects, particularly through the Noella Foundation, which focuses on child welfare, education, and support for vulnerable families.
Sources close to the family said the celebration was kept low-key in respect of the current economic realities, with emphasis on thanksgiving and reflection.
“Seyi is a man of few words but deep commitments,” another associate remarked. “His 40th birthday is not just a personal milestone but a celebration of consistency, compassion, and national optimism.”
As the son of the nation’s leader, Seyi Tinubu’s role continues to attract public attention is not just for his proximity to power, but for how he has leveraged his influence to promote youth inclusion, leadership development, and community service.
