Late Otunba Adekunle Ojora

The family of Otunba Adekunle Ojora, renowned Nigerian businessman and industrialist, has confirmed his passing at the age of 93.

His daughter, Mrs. Toyin Ojora-Saraki, wife of former Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki, announced that he died on Wednesday morning in a statement.

Announcing for the entire family, Ojora-Saraki said, “Inalilahi wa Ina Ilaehi Rajiun. With total submission to the will of Almighty Allah (SWT), the Ojora family of Lagos hereby announces the passing of our beloved patriarch, Otunba Adekunle Ojora, the Otunba of Lagos and Lisa of Ife, who returned to his creator early this morning.

“We say Alhamdulilahi for a life well lived, and we comply with Allah’s words that: “Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him we will all return” (Q2: 156).”

According to the announcement, the industrialist “will be buried in Lagos according to Islamic rites”.

“He was survived by his lovely wife, Erelu Ojolape Ojora, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren,” the statement said.

“We urge all members of the public to join us in praying to Allah to grant His servant, who has lived a dignified life, reprieve in the grave and a place in Aljannah Firdaus. Ameen.”

Ojora served as Chairman of the Board of AGIP Nigeria Limited from 1971 until the company was acquired by Unipetrol in 2002.

He began his career as a journalist with the BBC in the early 1950s, became an executive at UAC in 1962, and in the 1970s started investing in several foreign firms operating in Nigeria.
