The Ogun State Government has expressed heartfelt condolences to the family of Hon. Tajudeen Egunjobi, the Special Adviser on Housing to Governor Dapo Abiodun, who passed away on Tuesday after a brief illness.
Governor Abiodun, during a condolence visit to Egunjobi’s residence in Oke-Lantoro, Abeokuta, described the late adviser as a loyal and dedicated member of his team.
Reflecting on the loss, the Governor remarked, “His death came as a rude shock and is highly painful. He was a very humble, hardworking, conscientious, dependable, and reliable special adviser to this government.”
Praising Egunjobi’s contributions, Governor Abiodun highlighted his diligence in the housing sector, saying, “I appointed him Special Adviser on Housing because of the plans that we had and still have for the housing sector alongside the Commissioner for Housing, and I must say that Tajudeen was very diligent.”
He noted that the accomplishments of his administration in the housing sector would not have been possible without Egunjobi’s immense contributions.
Abiodun further described the late Egunjobi as a “consummate politician and a former member of the Ogun State House of Assembly,” commending his impact on the development of Ogun State.
“Hon. Egunjobi lived a life of impact, and his name will be remembered for his service to humanity,” he added.
Hon. Jagunmolu Jamiu Omoniyi, the Ogun State Commissioner for Housing, also paid tribute to Egunjobi, praising his loyalty and dedication.
“Abeokuta South Local Government and the entire state have lost an enigma,” Omoniyi stated, acknowledging Egunjobi’s role in the progress achieved in the state’s housing sector.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Noah Tajudeen expressed gratitude to the state government for its support, extending his well-wishes to the Governor for continued success in his endeavors.
Hon. Egunjobi’s passing leaves a notable void in the Ogun State Government, especially within the housing sector where his contributions were deeply valued.
