I must express my condolence particularly to the family of Remi Adeleye whose death I have just read on the Internet. He was a graduate of the University College Ibadan, obtaining the first degree from the University of London. We were contemporaries as undergraduates in the University College Ibadan. A scholar of immense stature, he served as a commissioner in the military government of Yakubu Gowon. Indeed, that was the last time we spoke, although I still keep his phone number on my list. I wish him eternal rest and may the Lord accept his soul into paradise. May his soul rest in peace.
