JUST IN: Tinubu is dead, Gov. Sanwo-Olu mourns
Former Head of Service in Lagos State, Alhaji Rafiu Tinubu is dead. Tinubu died in Abuja on Wednesday at the age of 75, after a brief illness.

A statement signed by Mr Gboyega Akosile, Chief Press Secretary to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu described Tinubu’s death as a huge loss to the state and the nation in general.

Sanwo-Olu sympathized with Tinubu’s family, the deceased’s friends and associates, saying: “Alhaji Tinubu’s demise came at a time the nation and Lagos in particular needed his wealth of experience the most.”

“As experienced administrator per excellence, we certainly will miss the late Alhaji Tinubu’s counsel on matters of importance in the state civil service.”

The Governor said people of the state would always remember the “laudable achievements” of the former top civil servant, who, he said, served the state meritoriously for 26 years before he rose to become the Head of Service.

Sanwo-Olu said: “We can’t forget the contributions of late Alhaji Rafiu Tinubu towards the professionalisation of Lagos civil service. His quest for excellence and exemplary leadership were a hallmark of his earthly sojourn.

“We condole the Tinubu family, especially our National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, wife and children of the deceased and the entire extended families of late elder statesman.

“I pray that Almighty Allah grant the late Alhaji Rafiu Tinubu Al-Janah Firdaus and grant members of the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”

FG not aware South Africa closed down Mission in Nigeria, says Onyeama

The Federal Government on Thursday said it was not aware that the South African government has closed down its foreign missions in Nigeria.

The South African Foreign Affairs Minister, Naledi Pandor was reported to have said that the country had temporarily closed its embassy in Nigeria.

According to her, South Africa was in constant touch with Nigerian authorities to try to restore calm, as she claimed that there was no provision in local law for compensation for damage caused in the attacks.

But briefing State House correspondents on Thursday, Foreign Affairs Minister, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama said: “We are not aware that the South African government has closed down its High Commission here in Abuja or its Consulate in Lagos.”
He also insisted that the Nigerian government must go ahead to press for compensation on the attacks and destruction of the businesses of Nigerians in South Africa.

He explained that inviting the Nigeria’s High Commissioner to South Africa would help the Nigerian government get the necessary information on the recent attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
