THE remains of Pastor (Mrs.) Josephine Oluwadamilola Kuteyi, who died in a recent helicopter crash have been laid to rest in her home town, Ondo amidst wailing and outpour of encomiums by her relatives, the Ondo community and prominent Nigerians from all walks of life whose lives she touched in her 56-year sojourn on earth.
A special farewell service held at the Oba Adesanoye Civic Centre
in Ondo was attended by the Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko and
his wife Olukemi, captains of industries and several eminent Nigerians.
Meanwhile, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State has described the death of the late Managing Director of Bacita Sugar Company, as "a rude shock and monumental loss to the country."
In a condolence message to the Kuteyi family, Ahmed said the death of the business mogul came at a time the state and the country needed her wealth of experience to drive the nation's economy.
The governor added: "Mrs. Kuteyi, within a few years of taking over the Bacita Sugar Company, has not only changed the economic status of the town but has added value to the economic base of the state for which she would never be forgotten."
Mimiko, who spoke with reporters shortly after Kuteyi's interment at her home along Ondo-Akure
road, described the deceased as "a true child of God who never allowed
her chains of business to distract her from the service of God."
May her soul rest in peace
