Deomelo,
Please review following for proper identification.

I think this pic is Segun Awolowo, Head of Nigerian Export Commission Board. The occassion might have included Mr Olusuyi in company of Mr Awolowo, but the reporting has wrong picture.

If this indeed is Mr Olusuyi then I might wonder if he is related with the Awolowos.
