The National Youth Service Corps, or NYSC, has expressed sorrow over the recent death of Brigadier General Soyemi Ayodele Sofoluwe, Rtd., its 7th Director-General.
Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, the current DG, honored the dead for his outstanding contributions to the expansion of the NYSC during his time as Chief Executive during a condolence visit to the deceased’s family in Lagos.
His passing, according to the DG, was a huge loss for the family, the NYSC, and the country as a whole.
He asked God to console his family and grant the late General eternal rest.
Additionally, Nafiu promised Colonel Kehinde Sofoluwe (Rtd.), the matriarch and widow of the Sofoluwe family, that NYSC would support her throughout the funeral ceremonies.
Sofoluwe, affectionately referred to as “Oga Show” by NYSC employees and Corps members, was well-known and cherished for his friendly, sympathetic, and humorous disposition.
His wife, kids, and grandkids survive him.
