“They are icons of hope, blazing the trail, re-basing benchmarks, lighting the path for others to tread and giving succor to a thirsty world craving for dignity and development.

“We are comforted that our dear brother, late Prof Pius Adesanmi is immortalised in his writings and publications,” Osikoya said.

She said that the ministry’s social media platforms and many others, had been awash with memoirs of his life, excerpts of his academic works and ideologies, the moment his death was announced.

The commissioner added that Adesanmi’s untimely death came at a time when the state ministry was reaching out to all compatriots at home and in diaspora, to glean the best practices, expertise and technology transfer to better the state.

“We share in your pain and deep sense of loss. We have lost a renowned scholar, brother, colleague, teacher, mentor, coach, adviser, friend and a very important stakeholder of no mean reputation,” she said.

She prayed God to grant the late professor eternal rest, and all that he left behind and the entire education sector in mourning, the fortitude to bear such great loss.
