Ayanleke is a leading voice in Nigeria's blossoming mining and solid mineral sector, whose knowledge and leadership positions have earned him track records of excellence and advocacy for important policy and regulatory interventions in the sector.
The crowning and installation of Oba Ayanleke is consequent upon his earlier selection and completion of the rites of enthronement into the traditional stool.
Ayanleke is a Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Mining Engineers with over two decades of experience in mining operations and administration.
He concurrently serves as the Director of Mining Operations for Topmost Minerals and Allied Resources Ltd. in Oyo State. He was a former National Secretary of the Miners Association of Nigeria, before stepping into the role of National President.
His advocacy for policy reforms, protection for indigenous operators, and stronger private-sector collaboration to unlock the Nigeria’s mineral potentials, has earned him a seat on the table of elites driving the Nigeria's economy.
