Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Obituary: Professor Adebayo Lawal

This so sad. May God grant him eternal rest. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family he left behind. May God bless, keep and protect them. Amen.

It is with deep sadness and sorrow that I announce the death of Professor Adebayo Lawal. He died yesterday, Monday. He had a very long career in the Dept. of History, the University of Lagos. He made his mark on the analysis of colonial Nigeria, training many generations of students who distinguished themselves in various walks of life.

 

You and I cannot escape death:

 

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.   

Ecclesiastes 12:7

 

More on the funeral arrangement in due course.
