LAGOS, Nigeria – Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is emerging as a prominent figure in Nigeria, navigating the intersection of business, politics, and philanthropy. While his family connections are well-known, Tinubu has also carved out an independent path through his ventures in media, advertising, and youth development.
Tinubu is the founder of Loatsad Promomedia, an outdoor advertising company that has incorporated digital solutions to enhance brand visibility across Nigeria. The company has played a role in shaping narratives and influencing political campaigns, highlighting the increasing convergence of media, business, and politics in Nigeria.

Beyond his business interests, Tinubu is involved in social initiatives through the Noella Foundation. The foundation focuses on youth empowerment, education, and entrepreneurship, providing resources such as seed funding, scholarships, and mentorship to young Nigerians.
Tinubu represents a growing trend of politically engaged business leaders in Nigeria. While not directly involved in electoral politics, he plays a role in shaping policies, engaging with government agencies, and fostering collaborations between the private and public sectors. This positions him as an intermediary between Nigeria’s government and its youth population.
Nigeria faces significant economic and social challenges, including high unemployment rates among young people. Figures like Seyi Tinubu, who combine business acumen with social initiatives, are seen by some as potential drivers of change. However, his close ties to the political establishment also raise questions about potential conflicts of interest and the influence of family connections in Nigerian society.
