Rear Admiral Adetoye Oyetola Sode was the Military Administrator of Oyo State, Nigeria from December 1993 to September 1994 during the military regime of General Sani Abacha.[1]
Sode gained a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.[2] He became a member of the Nigeria Society of Engineers, and worked in the Federal Ministry of Mines and Power before enlisting in the Nigerian Navy.[3] He attended the Royal Naval Engineering College, Manadon, Plymouth, England for a course in Marine Engineering, then served as Engineering Officer in various naval vessels and also commanded the Naval Shipyard in Port Harcourt.[2]
Navy Captain Adetoye Sode was posted to Oyo State as Military Administrator on 9 December 1993.[4] He was criticized for not including enough Muslims in his cabinet and for allowing Christian religious activity in schools. Sode responded by imposing a statewide ban on religious activities, precipitating a minor crisis.[5]
Sode was awarded the Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) in 1998.[2] He became Commander of the Fleet Maintenance Corps before his retirement in June 1999.[3] After retiring from active service Sode established a Marine Engineering Consultancy company, Sabita Nigeria.[6] He was appointed to the board of directors of other companies including Intercontinental Engineering & Homes Development (construction and real estate development), ScanHomes Nigeria (construction), Lottoj Oil and Gas (marine fuel logistics and petroleum products) and Eterna Plc (petroleum products manufacturing and distribution).[2][3][6][7]
