The remains of the former Secretary General of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi, will be buried on March 15.
This was contained in a statement by the family, a copy of which was made available to osun.life. The statement reads;
The family of late Chief Taiwo Joseph Ogunjobi, would like to thank all that have directly or indirectly offered us their heart-felt condolences, support and well wishes during this trying period.
Whilst the family considers it a heavy loss to the family, we have since Monday February 11, 2019 realised that our ‘Taiwo’ was not just ours but one that the sporting community and the nation at large loved and respected so much. We are delighted to have shared him with Nigeria, even the world.
Though pained beyond comprehension, we are consoled by the many comforting messages from across the sporting world and firmly believe he could only have gone to a better place, where if football is played he will once again excel as a talented natural leader.
To this end, we wish to announce to the General public that the final ‘home’ going proceedings would take place between Wednesday 13th through Friday 15th of March, 2019 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Full details of events would be published at a later date.
Once again, we thank you all for your immense and immeasurable support and prayers. God bless.
