The Minister of Youth and Sports Mr Solomon Dalung has called Taiwo Ogunjobi a humble technocrat, who gave up the entirety of his life to football administration in Nigeria.
He also described his sudden death as flabbergasting.
His words, “The former Osun State Football Association Chairman was a humble technocrat who dedicated his life to the administration of football in Nigeria.
“I am shocked to hear of Chief Ogunjobi’s death. I saw him last year prior to the NFF elections.
“He came to personally inform me of his intent to contest the NFF presidential elections. “He was a seasoned administrator and had contributed immensely to the development of football in Nigeria, especially in his home state, Osun.
“I commiserate with his immediate family members, the Osun State football Association, and other football stakeholders who knew or worked with him. “He has left an indelible mark and a vacuum in football administration in the country. May God grant his soul eternal rest and his family, the fortitude to bear this loss.”
