President Buhari noted that, even in retirement, late Ajekigbe “still lent his God-given intellect to research and advocacy of early detection of cancer, so that the scourge can be reduced in the country.”
The President saluted the commitment to the scholarship of the departed, which saw him first qualifying as an engineer, later as a pharmacist, and eventually as a medical doctor.
He prayed that God would comfort those who mourned the departed cancer specialist, urging that his good works and research findings be documented for the good of humanity.
