Achievements

During his time as the head of the Nigerian mission to Germany, Adeniran worked to improve the image of Nigeria and restore German investors' confidence in the Nigerian economy. Adeniran established exchange programmes meant to deepen collaboration between Nigerian and German institutions in the areas of health, environment and education. On Nigeria's image, Adeniran thinks every Nigerian has a responsibility to represent the country well in every aspect and every area of life. He remarked that "we need to continue the promotion of good image through our activities at home and abroad and the correct and credible interpretation of developments" in Nigeria. On the economy, Adeniran thinks Nigeria needs to remain consistent in her economic policies in order to experience significant results. He stated that "through my investment drive, I have realized that we need to remain consistent in our economic policies". He called for synergy among various government agencies, ministries and missions involved in the investment drive. Adeniran thinks Nigeria's local government system, rather than be an instrument of development, is the most tragic aspect of the country's democratic system as it is not run as it should be.

Adeniran is a church leader and a knight of John Wesley. He is involved in a number of charity and community service.
