Akeredolu laments commissioner’s death
ONDO State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu said on Sunday that it was a pity that the Commissioner for Regional Integration, Prof. Bayonle Ademodi, would not witness the gains of bitumen exploitation.
He spoke when he visited the bereaved family.
Akeredolu described Ademodi as a thoroughbred academic, whose interest in bitumen exploitation and exploration would forever make him a great loss to the state in particular and Nigeria as a whole.
The deceased’s wife, Yetunde, said her husband was a committed person, who never abandoned his target.
She thanked the governor for the visit and said the government would be informed of the funeral programme.
Ademodi was a Professor of Chemical Engineering.
The deceased, an indigene of Ondo town, died on Saturday night after a medical surgery. He was 68.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State described Ademodi’s death as a great loss to the party and Ondo East Local Government in particular.
The Chairman, Ade Adetimehin, said in a statement that the late Ademodi left a vacuum that would be difficult to fill.
