Director-General of the National Employment Consultative Council (NECA) Timothy Olawale is dead.
Gatekeepers News reports that Olawale died in an Abuja hospital after he slumped at a meeting of the board of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) on Friday.
His demise was confirmed in a statement issued by NECA management on Saturday.
The statement said: “It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Timothy Olawale, our Director-General, which occurred on Oct. 1 2021 at a hospital in Abuja.
“He is survived by his wife, children, and other relatives; we pray the good Lord to grant his family and us all, the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.’’
