Professor Oladimeji Aborisade was a man of peace and integrity. He was a Professor of Public Administration and Local Government Studies. He was a former colleague at the Faculty of Administration, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, and a friend since we met in 1980. May his soul rest in perfect peace. The God Almighty will give the family the fortitude to bear the lose of a good man.
