Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha has expressed shock and sadness over the demise of Timothy Olawole, the Director-General of the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA).
Gatekeepers News reports that Olawale died in an Abuja hospital on October 1st after he slumped at a meeting of the board of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF).
The SGF described his death as a huge loss to “the nation in view of his professionalism, candour and balanced reasoning which he usually demonstrated during negotiations and other engagements.”
One of his outstanding contributions according to the SGF, was during the negotiations on the new minimum wage and the Consequential Adjustment that followed. “Such successes were achieved, as a result of Olawole’s sense of Justice and professional acumen, SGF noted.”
SGF on behalf of the Federal Government condoles with the entire NECA and the family and prays to God to grant the soul of the departed eternal rest.
