Former Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has described the demise of the Late Doyen of Accountancy Profession
Pa Akintola Williams as a colossal loss not only to Nigeria but the global Community.
In a statement, the former Governor commiserated with the family of Akintola Williams, particularly the children and all professionals in the Accounting profession on the great loss.
He noted that the deceased was the
doyen of the accountancy profession in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa,
who recorded many firsts; first Chartered Accountant, a pioneer
member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, and its first
president as well as many enviable achievements.
Amosun described the Late Akintola Williams as a great
achiever whose invaluable contributions and commitment to the growth of Accountancy in Nigeria and Africa are epochal and unquantifiable.
The former governor recalled with gratitude the invaluable support the deceased gave to his administration between 2011 and 2019 by attending personally the annual budget presentation at the
Ogun State House of Assembly and supported greatly the establishment
of the Elderly Home Hostel in Abeokuta.
He prayed that Almighty God grant the doyen of the accounting profession eternal rest, and give his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the entire Akintola Williams family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
