"Today's event is a continuation of a tradition which started in February 1963 when the first three Fellows of the institute were inducted. Having been considered and found worthy for this award out of the lot that was considered for it is an honour on its own. This is because the Institute guards its Fellowship jealously and this would probably be the reason why it is having only 600 Fellows after 50 years of existence out of total individual membership strength of about 160,000," Olawale-Cole stated.

A holder of three traditional titles, Ajayi attended the University of Calabar, Obafemi Awolowo University and the University of Ibadan where he bagged B.A. (Combined Honours) in Political Science and Philosophy; and MSc in Public Administration.

A prolific writer, Ajayi has served in various capacities at NPA holding notable positions including General Manager Administration before his posting to head the Public Affairs unit in 2010.

He is the Chief Patron of Lagos Referees Association.
