Dapo Abiodun pays tribute to accounting legend Akintola Williams
Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun on Monday in Abeokuta described the demise of Nigeria’s pioneer chartered accountant, Akintola Williams, as the end of an era.
Mr Williams died on Monday at his residence in Lagos at the age of 104.
The governor, in a statement he personally signed, lauded Mr Williams’ immeasurable contributions to the field of accountancy.
“His impact in the profession will continue to be remembered and celebrated among generations of accountants in years to come,” Mr Abiodun said.
Mr Abiodun, therefore, prayed for the repose of his soul and for the family and well-wishers to have the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
“While we are going to miss his priceless contributions for over seven decades in the field of Accounting, our solace lies in the profound legacies he left behind and his indelible footprints.
“May God Almighty rest his soul and continue to strengthen his family, numerous mentees, and all his admirers all over the world,” he said.
