The family of late Chief Taiwo Joseph Ogunjobi, has thanked all that have directly or indirectly offered them their heart-felt condolences, support and well wishes during this trying period.
This was contained in a statement issued by the family of the late former Secretary general of Nigeria Football Association (NFA)Â and made available for Parrot Sport.
“Whilst the family considers it a heavy loss to the family, we have since Monday February 11, 2019 realised that our ‘Taiwo’ was not just ours but one that the sporting community and the nation at large loved and respected so much. We are delighted to have shared him with Nigeria, even the world.
“Though pained beyond comprehension, we are consoled by the many comforting messages from across the sporting world and firmly believe he could only have gone to a better place, where if football is played he will once again excel as a talented natural leader.
“To this end, we wish to announce to the General public that the final ‘home’ going proceedings would take place between Wednesday 13th through Friday 15th of March, 2019 in Ibadan, Oyo State”, the statement reads.
The full details of the burial events will be published at a later date according to the statement.
The family, however, expressed their appreciation to all the football fraternity in the country for immense and immeasurable support received towards giving their beloved a befitting burial.
