The former mayor of Amuwo Odofin comrade Ayo Adewale said “It is with a deep sense of loss that I heard of the passing away of Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande, first civilian Executive Governor of Lagos State. He was my grandfather’s school and bunkmate and also a mentor to me. I will forever be grateful for the free education program and infrastructural facilities established by Alhaji Jakande which I was a beneficiary of from primary, secondary, and also university. I only paid N90 per session as a tuition fee totaling N360 as school fees in my time as an undergraduate student of Lagos State University. I also followed his template in all ramifications at Amuwo Odofin Local Government during my administration as Executive Chairman of the Local Government, Lagos State. Alhaji Jakande can never be erased from the history of Nigeria and his achievements still remain ingrained and utilized all over the State.I Comrade Ayodele Adewale will forever miss and remember him as a colossus, true patriot, and lover of the masses has gone to join the great ones and heroes of mankind.
Adieu Comrade!
Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande LIVES ON…
