A Legacy Cut Short

LEADERSHIP has learned that Eesuola was on the brink of achieving a significant academic milestone, with his PhD defense at the University of Ibadan scheduled shortly after his untimely passing. The community mourns the loss of a dedicated leader whose contributions will be remembered by many.
