A retired professor of Pharmacy at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State
It is the most important thing in my life because in the first instance, becoming an Igbobi boy was very tough at that time I sat for the entrance exam. To get a form for the entrance examination, you had to be one of the best students in your school. I attended St Patrick’s Catholic School, Yaba. I was in Standard V, which meant I didn’t even know when the form was put out for sale. Only four copies of the form were sent to our school.
You were at the Ministry of Finance when the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was there during the Civil War. Did you have any encounters with him? It was not a stray bullet, he was actually shot. It happened on February 1, 1971. It is a day I remember distinctively. It was the heaviest day of my life. Everybody was shocked that day.General Gowon , who was the Head of State was shocked. They set up a panel of enquiry. At that point in time, we were still sane as a country. Life still meant something. I remember the day we went to bury him at Saint Ann’s Cemetery, Challenge, Ibadan. There was everybody who was anybody there that day.
