President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the Adetiran family, their friends and associates on the passage of an accomplished musicologist, Assistant Venerable Oluwole Isaac Adetiran, who passed on at 75.
Buhari urged the family to take solace in the quality of life lived by the departed, having left his footprints on the sands of time as a composer of the NYSC Anthem, sung around the country, and inspiring innumerable youths.
This was disclosed in a statement by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President.
The President prayed God to rest the soul of the former Head, Department of Music, The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Director of Music, Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, and holder of the Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) National Award.
Buhari charged the younger generation to learn lessons from the devotion of the departed to both secular and spiritual things and exceling in all of them.
