NIGERIA: OGUN State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has lamented the death of the renowned educationist, Dotun Oyewole.

Amosun, in a condolence message, said that the demise of the last of the famous Oyewole twins from Abeokuta, was

“a painful, yet inevitable loss.”

While urging the Oyewole family to take solace because Dotun and his late twin brother, Femi “lived an impactful and fulfilling life,” the governor stated that the duo contributed significantly to the education sector not only in the state, but the entire length and breadth of the country,
Amosun said: “It was in recognition of this fact that we recently named the newly built Model School at Kobape after Femi and Dotun Oyewole.”

The governor said that he was happy that his government was able to celebrate and immortalize Femi and Dotun with the commissioning of an ultra-modern model school.

According to him, the secondary school was commissioned last February 2 by President Muhammadu Buhari as part of activities to mark the 40th anniversary of the Gateway State.

The last of the Oyewoles died last Sunday at the age of 94, 10 years after his twin brother died in Abeokuta.  Femi died at the age of 84.

The Oyewoles, who were known as famous science teachers at Abeokuta Grammar School, their alma mater, had written many textbooks, particularly in Physics and Chemistry for use in Nigerian schools.

The twins also founded Abeokuta Continuing Education Center, Abeokuta, the tutorial center for remedial classes for certain categories of secondary school leavers.

Meanwhile, GatewayMail learnt that the deceased family has commenced consultations on the burial arrangements, with particular emphasis on how to give him a befitting burial.
