The Association of Corporate and Marketing Communications Professionals in Banks in Nigeria has mourned the death of its Publicity Secretary, Abdul Kolawole Imoyo.
The highly regarded corporate media manager and journalist breathed his last in the early hours of Sunday.
Imoyo died at First Cardiology, Ikoyi, Lagos during a brief illness.
A statement signed by ACAMB’s President, Rasheed Bolarinwa, on behalf of the Executive Committee and entire members of Association, said until his untimely demise, Imoyo served as the Head of Media Relations at Access Holdings, “where he contributed significantly to the financial group’s communication strategies and public image.”
The association quoted a heartfelt statement earlier released by Tunde Imoyo, representing the Imoyo family: “It is with deepest sorrow that we inform you of the death of our beloved husband, father, brother, and uncle, Abdul Kolawole Imoyo, who departed to be with the Lord in the early hours of December 17, 2023, after a brief illness. We are taking some time as a family to grieve over our loss at this time. We thank you for your prayers and support.”
Bolarinwa added in the statement: “Imoyo was known for his dedication, professionalism and unwavering commitment to excellence in the field of corporate communications.
“His contributions to ACAMB and the broader corporate landscape will be remembered and celebrated by colleagues, associates, and the entire banking community.”
With nostalgia, the Association recalled that the late Imoyo played active roles in cementing the bonds of relationship between ACAMB and other industry bodies such as FICAN and CAMCAN, while he was in the media, adding: “That he emerged the Publicity Secretary of the current ACAMB Exco was in recognition of his amiable traits, needed to wedge the critical stakeholders in the industry.”
ACAMB extended its deepest condolences to the Imoyo family and Access Holdings Group during this difficult time and expresses gratitude for his invaluable service to the Association and the corporate sector at large.
