Oba Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye was barely two years old when his father ascended the throne in 1968 and lived with him for twenty-five years.[3] He attended the Nigerian Law School in Abuja, and he was consequently called to the Nigerian Bar as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.[4] He served as Ondo State Director of Finance before becoming the Olowo.[5]
Shortly after his appointment as permanent secretary,[6] Oba Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye III exited the civil service to ascend his ancestral throne as the 32nd Olowo of Owo.[7]
