Former Presidential Aide, Remi Oyo Passes Away by Nobody: 10:47am On Oct 02, 2014 |
Mrs. Oluremi Oyo, Special Assistant to former President Olusegun Obasanjo is dead. The veteran journalist, who was also the former Managing Director of The News Agency of Nigeria died on Wednesday after a protracted illness in London. Remi, who is survived by her husband, Vincent Oyo and children died at the age of 62. Her death has thrown her former colleagues at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) into a mourning mood. Commenting on her death, Solomon Asowota, a staff of NAN said: “Rest in Peace Mrs Oluremi Oyo. An amazing woman, mother and boss. Thanks for all you taught me. Forever in my heart” Also commenting on her death, another former colleague, Olisa Egbunike said, “we are going to miss her. She came when NAN was in the locust years but being a thoroughbred professional she was able to move the organisation to where it is today. We are definitely going to miss her. We however take solace in the fact that she left a very good legacy Prior to her appointment as Special Assistant to President Obasanjo, she was the President of the Guild of Editors and worked for many years with the International Press Service . In April 2012, Pope Benedict XVI bestowed on her the honour of Papal Dame of the Order of St. Gregory the Great.
