The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, has expressed sadness over the passage of one of Nigeria’s finest technocrats and boardroom gurus, Dr Christopher Kolade.
He described Dr. Kolade as an elder statesman and “one of the titans of Nigeria’s corporate world.”
Dr. Kolade passed on on Wednesday at 92. The family announced his demise on Thursday.
Speaker Abbas, in a condolence message issued through his Chief Press Secretary, Leke Olatunji Baiyewu, said Dr Kolade was not only a veteran broadcaster but also a prolific management expert and master of corporate governance.
“The like of Dr. Christopher Kolade is not many, especially in the private sector. He was an egghead in business and management; a core professional in the corporate world. He was exceptional in his career that spanned several decades,” the Speaker said in the message.
While commiserating with the Kolade family, the Speaker said the corporate titan would be remembered for his contributions to the development of the country in various capacities.
Speaker Abbas prayed to God to grant Dr. Kolade eternal rest.
