He worked relentlessly to ensure that Lekki Free Trade Zone project got to fruition but unfortunately he could not live to see the end of the project. I pray that God upholds his family, sustain them and give them the fortitude to bear the loss.”

Son of the deceased, Ibrahim Disu said he never knew how great his father was until his death.

“I knew my father was great but I didn’t know how it was until his death. Five minutes after his death, everyone had taken over the responsibilities for the burial ceremony. I must thank everyone who had rallied the family since his death.”
