President Bola Tinubu has sent his condolences to the family and friends of Prof. Ebenezer Ogunlana, who passed away at the age of 87.
Ajuri Ngelale disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
The President sympathised with the Ogunlana family and the pharmaceutical community for the painful loss of this lodestar of pharmacy in Nigeria and beyond.
Tinubu prayed for the repose of the souls of the dearly departed and comfort for all those who mourn this agonising loss.
Ogunlana was once president of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, the Association of Professional Bodies in Nigeria and the West African Pharmacists Association.
He was Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, and Deputy Vice Chancellor at the then-University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University.
Ogunlana was a recipient of the Andre Bedat Award, which is given to persons who have distinguished themselves in the practice of pharmacy by the International Pharmaceutical Federation.
