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 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.

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.
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

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
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
