Schooled at Holy Infant Jesus Catholic School, Loyola College, and Wesley College of Science, Ibadan, he holds a degree in Food Technology from the University of Ibadan. Over the past decade, he has built a robust career advancing evidence-based reforms and community-centered programs across Nigeria, especially in food security, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), digital innovation, and grassroots governance.
Ajibola leads strategic efforts at the Nigeria Food Security Project and the Supply Chain Research and Innovation Hub (SCRIH), crafting localized, data- driven solutions to post-harvest loss, poor food access, and rural economic underperformance. He has managed successful programs, including the development of the digital innovation component of a $4.6 million maternal and neonatal health project funded by the Gates Foundation. He has worked with government, corporate and research entities across industries in unique capacities, nationally and globally, including the Norwegian Refugee Council / Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, Action Against Hunger/German Federal Foreign Office in Borno State, M.

His policy work consistently prioritizes impact, scalability, and systemic change.
A prolific writer and public speaker, Ajibola uses his voice to bridge the gap between vision and reality. His books, MayWeather and Productivity, and Rising Together: Essays on the Nigerian Struggle and Our Path to Growth, reflect a commitment to thought leadership grounded in lived experience and intellectual rigor. He is also the host of the Diary of a Patriot YouTube channel where he simplifies public policy and champions a working Nigeria.
Ajibola’s advocacy extends into nonprofit work through the Ajibola Oladiipo Foundation, which supports underserved communities in areas such as food systems, inclusive education, environmental resilience, and IT workforce development.
He is also building a political structure rooted in progressive ideals, social justice, and human dignity. He strongly believes that politics must serve a higher purpose: to build a society where freedom, dignity, and opportunity are not privileges for a few, but rights guaranteed to all.
For Ajibola, leadership is stewardship. He believes in doing the patient work of building trust, creating opportunities, and driving collective progress. Whether in community halls, strategy rooms, or global forums, he remains a committed advocate for a Nigeria where systems work, citizens thrive, and hope is real.
