Muhammadu Buhari

Afolabi Imoukhuede, Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Job Creation and Youth Employment, has lost his mother.

Olubunmi Imoukhuede died aged 75 on May 1.

The family announced her passage in a statement on Friday.

The late Imoukhuede, the statement said, was part of the pioneer set of the prestigious May Flower School, Ikenne, Ogun State in the late 50s.

“Sisi was an extremely quiet, cheerful, and peace-loving lady; a simple fashionable lady who was always wearing her smiles to all and sundry at all times even in deep hurtful pains. She was a humanitarian par excellence and a deep lover of God. A staunch member of the St. Johns Church, Aroloya, Lagos from her childhood, she would be deeply missed by all both young and old,” the statement read.

She is survived by her children, grandchildren, sisters, brothers, aunties and uncles, among whom is the presidential aide.

Burial arrangements will be announced later, the family said.
