The late Olayinka was one of the very few women who has made it to the top . She was the second woman to have occupied the exalted position of a deputy governor in ekiti state .
She was an accomplished banker and a corporate sector player who worked in the financial sector for twenty one years before heeding the call of service in her home state of Ekiti.
