In a condolence letter to the family in which the Executive Vice Chairman\/Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta described the late Durojaiye as a patriarch, grandfather and great-grandfather.<\/p>\n

Danbatta also extolled his lifetime of service as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Banker, Lawyer, Economist and evergreen Administrator per excellence.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a renowned fighter for freedom, a consummate statesman, an honest, courageous and hardworking man during his lifetime\u201d, Danbatta Said.<\/p>\n

Born in 1933 in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, late Durojaiye, represented Ogun State at the Senate from 1999 to 2003 and was a member of the Constituent Assembly from 1988 to 1989. He served as the Chairman of the Governing Board of the Commission from November 2016 to January 2019.<\/p>\n

The Commission, will forever, remember him for the diligent conduct of the Businesses of the Board and for his notable achievements during the brief period he served as the Chairman.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur thoughts and sympathies are with the entire family at this grieving period as we pray for his soul to continue to rest in perfect peace. May the Almighty God in His infinite mercy grant the entire family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss\u201d, Danbatta said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
