News Investigators/ Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has commiserated with the government and people of Ondo State over the passing of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Tayo Oluwatuyi.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Oluwatuyi died on Saturday at a hospital in the state from the injuries he sustained in an accident while travelling from Akure to Ibadan on Dec. 17, 2024.
Mr Abiodun, in a condolence letter to Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, described Oluwatuyi’s death as a great loss to the state and prayed for the repose of his soul.
He expressed sadness at the news of the SSG’s demise, describing him as a consummate public servant, thorough-bred professional and highly conscientious individual.
The governor stated that the late SSG’s imprints and strides in and out of the government in Ondo State had been nothing short of phenomenal.
“The news of his death came as a rude shock, but we recognised that whatever deep affection and love we had for him pales into insignificance when placed side by side with the love of Almighty God.
“He was a brilliant administrator and sagacious politician. He was an embodiment of virtues and a strong bridge between the political class and the career officers.
“His stabilising role in government will be missed by all.
“On behalf of the Southern States’ governors, I want to sympathise with Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa and the entire good people of Ondo State over the sudden demise of Oluwatuyi.
“I urge my brother, the State Executive Council, the family and friends of the deceased to take consolation in the fact that the deceased lived a life of service for which he will be remembered,” he said.
