In Loving Memory of Isiaka Olatunde Adeyanju
Isiaka Olatunde Adeyanju was born on June 18, 1957, in Lagos, Nigeria. He passed on in 2026, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, service, and quiet strength.
He was one of the foundation administrative staff of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors (NIS), and through years of committed service, rose to become its Administrative Manager. His journey with the Institution spanned its various transitions — from Montgomery, Yaba, to PC1 Victoria Island, onward to Millennium Builders Plaza in Abuja, and finally to Williams Crescent, Utako. Through each phase, Mr. Adeyanju remained a constant, a steady hand and a dependable force behind the growth of the NIS National Secretariat.
A pillar of support to the Institution, he contributed immensely to the development and stability of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors and the surveying profession at large. His dedication, institutional memory, and unwavering commitment will forever be remembered and cherished.
Isiaka Olatunde Adeyanju will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the entire surveying community.
This memorial stands as a tribute to a life of service, and a celebration of a man whose impact will not be forgotten.

I met him first at Montgomery Street in 1987 when I was a student member of NIS, and I remember him as a man of admirable character. He is an administrator to the core. He was the engine room and the brain box of Nigerian Institution of Surveyors (NIS). Mr. Adeyanju’s life and legacy live with NIS. From 8 Montgomery Street, Yaba to Engineering Close in Victoria Island Lagos; to CBD Abuja and Utako Abuja. He has every information with him at all times. It is deeply saddening that he passed away j
I received with profound shock the news of the death of our Veteran Administrator Chief Isiaka Adeyanju. Every Surveyor up to 2018 knew Mr. Adeyanju but some of us had the priviledge of working closely with him as a member of the National Executive, i was the formal EXCO as the former Vice President International. Mr. Adeyanju was the life wire of the NIS, a very good Administrator, sharp, committed, knowledgeable, and very hard working. He literally gave his life to the NIS. Quite remarkable
I met Mr Adeyanju at Montgomery Street,Yaba in 1988 when I went there to submit my Student Membership Form of NIS. From that day we became connected and I always reference him to others who wanted to submit their Forms. He never disappointed any one in getting the registration done. I became closer to him when I joined the Council as Oyo State Representative in 2007. Mr Adeyanju was "NIS" to the core because give him any assignment you were sure of having the result in the next few hours. He was
He loved his Coffee Waoh! *Mr. 'Surv.' Olatunde Isiaka Adeyanju* is gone!! He was the Administrative Secretary of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors and served diligently for well over 30 years. He was a mobile encyclopedia of Nigerian Institution of Surveyors, its History and Administation. He was a disciplined, seasoned and highly decorated Administrator who lived and breathed NIS.... from Montgomery, Yaba to PC1 in Lagos, to Herbert Macaulay and Utako in Abuja. Even after he left NIS in 20
The news of Baba Adeyanju’s passing is both staggering and heartbreaking. I was fortunate to work closely with him while organizing the Olumide Memorial Lecture (OML) in 2018 and 2019, especially in drafting correspondence; his steady wisdom and quiet professionalism were gifts to everyone involved. He was a distinguished administrator and a warm, principled man; his presence uplifted us, and his absence leaves a deep void. We only recently grieved the loss of his beloved wife, making this momen
Mommy yo!! Like a dream you’ve left us 😭 you're more than just a teacher you're a guiding light. Your passion for teaching, kindness, and generosity have shaped me into who I am today. As my mentor, you've pushed me to be my best; as my friend, you've been there through it all always enjoying your company. I'm grateful for your unwavering support and love. Thank you for being an incredible role model. I love you mama. Surv. Yilcit Adeyenju.
We first met in 1990… in Kano, at an AGM marked by tension, controversy, and defining moments. Yet, from that unlikely beginning, something remarkable was born. What started as a connection between a seasoned administrator and a young student surveyor grew into a bond forged by shared passion, conviction, and an unshakable belief in the future of our Institution. Over the years, that relationship blossomed. It deepened when I served on Council, and reached its finest expression during my time
My first encounter with him in 2004 left a lasting impression on me—an impression that has remained consistent and unchanged to this very day. From that very moment, he stood out as a remarkably approachable individual, someone who made it easy for others to relate with him regardless of status or background. He carried himself with a calm and welcoming disposition that naturally drew people closer. What struck me most was his ability to listen—truly listen. He was not one to interrupt or dismi
May your soul continue to rest in peace sir 🙏 May we all remaining live longer 🙏
To those of us that met Mr Adeyanju while growing up in the Institution, he was an encyclopedia of every information in NIS. An astute administrator, loving,humble,kind and hardworking man he was. He knew NIS more than many Surveyors. While some of us were still trying to get in touch with you and commiserate with you on the loss of your wife(one of us),you also passed away. What a double tragedy! Our consolation is that both of you are in a better place now. Adieu Mr Isiaka Olatunde Adeyanju
