Friends and Family Remembers, Deji Tinubu

Two years ago,  the Tinubu family in Lagos lost one of their dear sons, Deji, to  the cold hands of death during a government function. But for his younger sibling, Oando boss, Wale Tinubu, and other family members, the deceased literally lives on in their minds.

 Therefore, in celebration of his life and times, the City of David Parish of RCCG,  Lekki, where he worshipped till he breathed his last, has continued to remember him with a lot of befitting activities. Also, the family, will be organising a remembrance gathering in honour of the departed soul at the family house in Lagos before the end of the month.

It would be recalled that the late Deji Tinubu had slumped and died on January 25, 2018, while playing football during a retreat of members of the Lagos State Executive Council and Permanent Secretaries at the Jubilee Chalets, Epe, Lagos State.

The trained engineer- turned football analyst gained recognition as a radio and television sports analyst with Sports Vision, which he set up with his business partners, Deji Omotoyinbo and Bode Oguntuyi. While he was alive, he served on different board as Chairman of the Lagos State Sports Commission before he was elected as a member of the NFF executive committee.  He was also Special  Adviser on Sports and later Commerce and Industry in Lagos state.
