Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) on Tuesday extended his condolences to the family of boardroom guru, Mr. Gamaliel Onosode, who died at the age of 82.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the president also commiserated with the government and people of Delta State, and the Nigerian Baptist Convention on the death of the man he described as an “illustrious son and evangelist”.
President Buhari said he joined them in mourning the deceased who, he noted, apart from being a colossus in Nigeria’s private sector, also excelled in public service on various occasions.
The statement read in part, “President Buhari believes that Mr. Onosode will be long remembered as an exemplary citizen and leader who made very significant contributions to national development.
“The President urges his family, friends, associates and other Nigerians to honour Mr. Onosode’s memory by upholding the virtues of integrity, honesty and dedication to service, which he passionately promoted in his long and highly successful career in the private and public sectors.
“He prays that God Almighty will comfort all who mourn the late Onosode and grant his soul eternal rest”.
