President Bola Tinubu has extended his heartfelt condolences to the Atanda family over the passing of their patriarch, Chief Oluremi Ademola Atanda, former Chairman of old Oyo State Civil Service Commission.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed this in a statement on Monday.
The late Atanda, the Eketa of Iwoland in Osun State, founded the respected Atanda Continuing Education Centre, which served as a training ground for many students preparing for university education in the South-west of Nigeria in the 70s and 80s.
He was a member of the 1978 Constituent Assembly and the 1994-1995 Political Reforms Conference.
