Governors mourn Ajimobi
Ajimobi's death
Abiola Ajimobi

By Henry Umoru

THE thirty- six State Governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF have described the late former governor of  Oyo State, Senator Abiola as a pillar of the forum.

A condolence message signed by the NGF Chairman and Ekiti State governor,  Dr. Kayode Fayemi read, “I, Dr John Kayode Fayemi, wish, on behalf of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, the umbrella body for all the 36 Governors and their peoples at the subnational level, to offer our deepest condolences to the family of our Late colleague and father Abiola Ajumobi.

“The late Abiola Ajumobi was not just our colleague as governors, he was also a pillar of support to the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) whose contributions to the Forum’s debates were filled with wisdom besides their depth.

“While he was governor of Oyo State, the Late Ajumobi was not just one member of the NGF who left indelible impressions in the minds of all members who were fortunate to have served during his time but also provided valuable counsel to the Nigeria Governors’ Forum Secretariat.

“With insight and foresight, the Late Abiola Ajumobi encouraged the strengthening of ties between governors and served as a counsellor to other governors including my humble self. For a man of 70, he was not just ebullient but was lively while being fatherly. There was never a dull moment with the late former Governor.

” It is important to note here that I have personally followed developments since news of his lung surgery broke and when he showed signs of recovery, I was happy. However, our hopes sank a bit once it was said that he had slipped into a coma, but we prayed and continued to hope that he got out of coma and recovered. But man proposes and God, the infinite arbiter, disposes. Inna Lillahi wa Inna Illaihir Raji’un.

“We, at the NGF honour his legacy and mourn his loss along with his family and friends as we pray to Allah (SWT) to grant him Jinnatul Fiddausi and his family the fortitude to bear this great loss.”

How to jump-start Nigeria economy post-COVID-19 Pandemic

Nwali Tochukwu Watching with consternation the fall out of events, actions, and inactions of our Nigerian leaders on mitigating the negative impact of COVID-19 Pandemic disruptions on our social and economic lives. As a young dynamic business and entrepreneurship writer, and author cum small business owner, what came into my mind as we navigate the storms of COVID-19, was a common English phrase Adages, Proverbs, first recorded in Fuller’s Gnomologia, 1732: ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ which was translated to literally, solve the problems right now! Why procrastinating? If we, as a nation wants to break away from past mistakes, and present mistakes, we should hold the bull by the horn right now. And avoid the roads of political expediency. That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha...
