The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has
condoled with the family of the late Dr. Amuda Aluko, as well as the
Emir of Ilorin and the government and people of Kwara State, on the
demise of the late foremost medical practitioner.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, the Minister described the
late Dr. Amuda Aluko as a respected elder statesman and opinion
moulder, who contributed greatly to the development of Kwara State in
particular and that of the nation in general.
He said that in his lifetime, Dr. Aluko, who was a member of the
National Reconciliation Committee, always put the interest of the
people of the state at the centre of his actions, whether as a
community leader or as a medical practitioner.
”It was therefore not a surprise that he bagged the title of the
Tafida of Ilorin, one of the highest and most respected titles in the
Ilorin Emirate, in addition to being bestowed with a national
honour,” Alhaji Mohammed said.
The Minister prayed that Allah will grant the deceased Al Janna
Firdaus and grant his family the strength to bear their irreparable
loss.
