Dr Kayode Fayemi has described the passing on of the academic guru, Prof. Sophie Oluwole, as a loss to the nation, saying her death has taken away another of Nigeria’s bright star.
Fayemi said this on Tuesday while consoling the family of the late Prof. Sophie Oluwole, the renowned academic who passed on Sunday, aged 83 years.
Fayemi said: “Prof Oluwole was a teacher with a difference, a distinguished scholar with an unusual approach to teaching. She was indeed a woman of honour and distinction”
“She shall be remembered as a distinguished scholar who touched many lives and as a dogged fighter and a Yoruba nationalist who never joked with the things that concerned her people. Hers was a life well spent in the service of mankind. He urged the families of the late prof to take solace in the fact that she lived a great life and impacted many lives and left behind a good name.
Rest in peace Prof. Sophie Oluwole.
