Posted by The federal government mourns the loss of Chief Mobolaji Ajose-Adeogun and offers its condolences to his loved ones.
Gen. Murtala Muhammed’s first Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ajose-Adeogun, passed away at the age of 96.
The task of creating the Abuja Master plan fell to him.
On behalf of the Federal Government, a statement of sympathy was released on Wednesday in Abuja from Senator George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
The late Chief Ajose-Adeogun is being remembered with sadness by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Director of Information for the SGF’s Office in Akume, Mr. Willie Bassey, released a statement honoring the life of the late minister, calling him a “technocrat, a boardroom guru, entrepreneur, and an initiator of developmental projects in the country.”
He prayed for the departed person’s soul to rest in peace and sent his condolences to the administration and people of Lagos State.
Remember that in 1975, Ajose-Adeogun served with distinction as a Federal Commissioner for Cooperatives and Supply for two terms before being appointed minister of the FCT.
Before his death, he was the chief of Ita-Aladan in Obun Eko, Isale Eko, Lagos, and before that, he served as a federal commissioner for special duties at the Federal Capital Development Authority.
