The Delta State House of Assembly
Speaker, Rt. Hon Ovwigho Igbuya, has described the foremost technocrat and
boardroom Czar, Deacon Gamaliel Onosode, as a family man that radiated the best
of values, ITRealms reports.
He stated that Onosode’s death has
deprived Nigerians, particularly the people of Delta State of the services of
one of the most consistent administrators of this age.
Igbuya who also described the death
of the former chairman of Dunlop Nigeria Plc, Cadbury Nigeria Plc and Zain
Nigeria as sad and painful, noted that the boardroom guru proved to Nigerians
and the international community that there was everything to gain from being
principled, ITRealms gathered.
A statement by the Chief Press
Secretary to the Speaker, Mr. Henry Ebireri urged the younger generation of Nigerians
to take a cue from the ideals that Onosode lived for- building a better Urhobo
nation, Delta State and Nigeria.
“In Nigeria, Onosode stood out. He
was a rare gem and a visionary leader with the knack for identifying talents.
As the head of then NAL merchant bank of Nigeria, he brought together bright
young men and women, some of whom are today in top banking positions in the
country and abroad. As a presidential adviser to President Shagari and a former
president of the Nigerian Institute of Management, he demonstrated exceptional
administrative prowess.
He urged Onosode’s immediate family
and the Urhobo people at home and abroad to take solace in the belief that
God’s will is unquestionable and must always prevail.
“We will certainly miss the
former chairman of the Niger Delta Environmental Survey, Global Missions Board
of the Nigerian Baptist Convention and the Nigerian Baptist Theological
Seminary, Ogbomoso. We will certainly miss this quiet and unassuming man on so
many fronts” the statement added.
