Abuja – President Bola Tinubu has conveyed profound sorrow upon learning of the death of Olusegun Awolowo, the grandson of the late revered figure, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
The President referred to Segun’s passing at the age of 62 as a sad and heartbreaking loss “not just for the Awolowo family, but for the whole nation.”
The President mentioned that the late Segun stood out as a member of the Awolowo family.
Segun demonstrated the Awolowo legacy through his looks, personality, and behavior. Similar to his grandfather, he was a lawyer dedicated to upholding truth and justice.
“He played a crucial role in Nigeria’s development. He worked faithfully as the Executive Director of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council from 2013 to 2021, becoming the longest-serving executive director in the organization’s history,” the President stated.
My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to his wife and children, the Awolowo family, and his mother, our very own Sisi Abah Folawiyo.
I also express my sympathy to the governments and people of Ogun State, the whole South-west geopolitical region, and Nigeria, regarding this heartbreaking loss. May his soul find peace.
