Faleti was the foremost director of the Oyo State directorate of Mass Mobilisation for Self Reliance, Social Justice and Economic Recovery (MAMSER) which metamorphosed to the National Orientation Agency (NOA).

He was famous for translating the Nigerian national anthem from English to Yoruba.

He died at 95 on July 23.

The Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism Toye Arulogun who represented Ajimobi, described the late Faleti as a “living genius and a man of impact on his generation.”
