Musician, Segun Akinlolu, professionally known as Beautiful Nubia, has joined several students and alumni of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, to mourn a former student leader of the institution, Abass Oyeyemi.
Oyeyemi died in the early hours of Thursday, May 25, 2023.
He served as a member of the Electoral Commission of the Students’ Union and was also an ex-Public Relations Officer of the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria, OAU chapter.
Abass Oyeyemi was very active in the humanitarian community with his charity Reaching Mind Foundation dedicated to eradicating period poverty and equipping young students with digital skills.
Known for his fervent support for Beautiful Nubia, the Folk artist in his tribute described Oyeyemi as a vibrant soul while stating that his good works must be continued.
“Of what use are words at a time like this? We can console ourselves with ‘it is not how long but how well.’ Still, it hurts to the bone to lose a vibrant young soul,” the musician tweeted, posting a picture of himself and Oyeyemi.
“I pray for strength and calm for those who knew and loved him dearly. We must carry on his memory and good deeds,” he added.
The deceased passed away in the early hours of May 25, 2023, in what is a rude shock to all those who had the pleasure and privilege of meeting him.
Abass Oyeyemi is an alumnus of the Faculty of Law Obafemi Awolowo University and during his time as a student, he served in different capacities with the last being as the 30th Lord Advocate of the Radiant Justice Chambers.
