With heavy hearts, we regret to announce the untimely passage of the
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Economic Matters, Mr. Ayoleke
O. Adu. He was aged 44.
Adu, a diligent economic professional and Certified Financial Analyst,
CFA, passed on last week Saturday after a period of illness.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, on behalf of the President and himself
condoles with his wife, children, mother and the entire family. He prays
that God will grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
Before he joined the Buhari presidency last year, Adu was the Chief
Executive Officer of Morgan Capital Securities Ltd, a leading investment
firm with headquarters in Lagos.
As a member of the President’s Economic Management Team and a presidential
aide deployed to the Office of the Vice President, Adu would be remembered
as a patriotic, forthright, creative and astute professional. He will
indeed be sorely missed.
Burial arrangements will be announced later.
