NECA DG Timothy Olawale is dead
The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) has announced the death of its Director-General Timothy Olawale.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Saturday, the NECA Secretariat said Mr Olawale passed away on October 1, in a hospital in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
“It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of Dr Timothy Olawale, our Director-General, which occurred on Oct. 1 2021 at a hospital in Abuja.
“He is survived by his wife, children and other relatives; we pray the good Lord to grant his family and us all, the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss,” it stated.
The statement added that the association was in contact with the family and more information would be communicated in due course.
The late Mr Olawale was confirmed as the substantive Director-General of NECA in January 2019, after six months in acting capacity, succeeding Segun Oshinowo, who retired in December 2018 after serving the association for 19 years.
