Former Common Wealth Secretary
General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku has
commiserated with the family of the
Onosodes and with Nigeria in general on
the demise of foremost technocrat, Mr.
Gamaliel Offoritsenere Onosode.
Chief Anyaoku who gave the condolence
while reacting to the sad news today
described the late technocrat as a
Corporate World Iroko. “An Iroko in the
corporate world has fallen. Mr. Onosode
was a true symbol of integrity in the
boardroom,” he said.
“He was an outstanding patriot and an
icon of the best of Nigeria’s national
values. Gam, as he was called by his
contemporaries, was also a man of God who deployed a significant part of his
righteously acquired resources in supporting the church in his home town of Ughelli
and in Lagos, where he lived an exemplary modest life.
“He will be missed by the very many people whose lives he touched in beneficial
ways. Gamaliel was my best man at our wedding almost 53 years ago; my entire
family, which enjoys close relationship with his family, joins his wife, Susan, and their
children in mourning this virtuous man.
“We thank God for his remarkable and fulfilled life, and pray that his soul will rest in
perfect peace, ’’ he concluded.
