The Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, Zacch Adedeji Ph.D, has commiserated with immediate family members and relatives of the chairman of the Oyo chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Comrade Ademola Babalola, over the death of his mum.
Adedeji, in a statement by his Technical Assistant (Print Media), Sikiru Akinola, urged Dembab, as Babalola is fondly called, to be consoled by the fact that the woman lived an impactful life by raising stars like the journalists’ boss and his siblings.
“My dearest Comrade Ademola Babalola, I join others in commiserating with you over the loss of your dear mother. As sad at it is, I want you to be consoled that she lived to see you and others excel. Having a son like you and the mention of your names almost on daily basis especially in the state was an encouragement for the many years of toil to see you grow.
“Through you, we see the kind of mother she was and one of the ways to immortalize her is to constantly remember the values she imparted in you and pass them over to your offsprings.
“So on behalf of us all the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, I offer our condolence and pray the Almighty Allah to grant your matriarch Aljannah and continue to console all of you left behind.”
