Prof Jimoh's passing, a huge loss - Belgore

Date: 2014-05-21

We receive with sadness the passing of Emeritus Professor Shehu Jimoh. The first doctor of philosophy (Education) graduate of the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) in 1977, Professor Shehu Jimoh was a great educationist whose achievements inspired many people in Nigeria especially in Kwara, his home state.

The death at this time of this illustrious teacher and psychologist is a great loss to Nigeria as a whole and to Kwara State and the Ilorin community in particular. It is painful because it comes at a time that such important voice is needed to silence ignorance and needless indoctrination.

We however take solace in the shining legacies of scholarship that the professor left behind. He would be remembered not just for his contributions to education development in Nigeria but also to the international community as he was for many years a consultant on educational matters to ECOWAS, UNESCO, UNICEF and indeed to the British Council.

For many years a lecturer in the University of Ilorin and until his death the chairman of the Governing Council of the Kwara State Polytechnic, Professor Shehu Jimoh will be sorely missed!

We pray the almighty to grant him eternal rest and keep his family, immediate and extended, the strength to bear this huge loss.

Mohammed Dele Belgore SAN.
