President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday condoled 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.
He 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 the composer of the NYSC Anthem, sung around the country, and inspiring innumerable youths.
According to a statement by the President’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, Buhari prayed to 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.
He charged the younger generation to learn lessons from the devotion of the departed to both secular and spiritual things and to excel in all.
