Tinubu
National leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has commiserated with the people of Lagos State in particular and Nigerians in general on the passage of industrialist Chief Rasheed Gbadamosi. Tinubu in a statement signed by his media aide, Tunde Rahman said Gbadamosi died at a time when his wealth of experience would have come in handy for the challenges of nation-building.
‘But those of us from Lagos State are happy to have him. And Lagos is proud of the life he lived and all he achieved.
‘He was an achiever, economist, industrialist, arts aficionado and nature lover. He diligently served the nation as he served his Lagos home-state. He distinguished himself as Minister of National Planning and much later Chairman Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Commission (PPPRC). He will be sorely missed.
Tinubu described him as a true Lagosian. ‘Chief Gbadamosi was our ‘poster boy’ in Lagos. Born in Lagos, lived in Lagos, breathed Lagos; he loved his Lagos.
‘Even though he had been ailing for some time now, but he was very active on the social-cultural scene. He died on the cusp of service of Lagos as Co-Chairman of Lagos at 50 Planning Committee.
‘Chief Gbadamosi also recorded giant strides in the business world. He was Chairman, Ragolis Water Limited, AIICO Pension Managers and Lucky Fibres Nigeria Plc.’ He said.
