Posterity will always remember those who leave memorable prints in the sands of time by their enviable lifestyle.
This was the submission of families, friends and colleagues of Late Professor Matthew Olufemi Kayode at the Service of Songs and Night of Tributes held in honour of the don at the Theophilus Ogunlesi Hall, UCH, Ibadan.
In a message, The Reverend Sunday Wojuade, described the late professor as a man who lived a fulfilled life, a good leader, a disciplined father and a beacon of hope to friends and colleagues.
In a tribute, a former Vice-Chancellor, University of Ibadan, Professor Olufemi Baniro, said the Late Professor Kayode served the nation meritoriously in his career as an economics professor.
