Tribute – Olubunmi Owoso

I will miss you dearly

I will miss you dearly sir.

In Loving Memory of Bunmi Owoso: We spent hours and hours together, sometimes daily. He was visibly enthused to be at Ilesha in 1972. I was not sure what it was that gave him so much joy at the time. Perhaps it was the fact that he had just put a University degree in his …

Dr Olubunmi Owoso personifies all you could ask for in a brother in-law. I had the pleasure of knowing him for over three decades. During this period, I found him to be a loving husband to my late sister, a devoted father, grandfather, and a distinguished gentleman. You touched so many lives with your kindness, …

Where do I start? Dr Owoso (or “Bros Bunmi” as he was fondly called) was not just my brother-in-law but also a big brother to my siblings and I. He was a loving and caring husband to my late sister, extraordinary father to his children and treated our late father Pa Abiona as his own …

The sudden and sad demise of Dr. Olubunmi Owoso, has robbed the ancient town of Ijebu-Jesa of one of its most illustrious sons.

Dr Owoso was a man of few words; devoted to religion and work. We thank the Almighty for his selflessness and excellent long service to CAPA and TVET. My condolences to the family, friends and the people of Nigeria. May God grant them solace in this time

Dear Dad, it is with a heavy heart that I pen down this, to me I have not only lost My Friend & Friend to my father, but I have also lost a Father too.

I worked with him as a Local Organising Chair for Malawi’s 2016 conference and he was a mentor and some who made the meeting to be successful despite the challenges that were there he was a man who could not easily give up even if things seemed too impossible

Dr. Owoso was as great as he was humble. He had a clear vision of where he wanted CAPA and TVET to go. I was privileged to interact with him when we wrote the 2018-23 CAPA strategic plan. The idea of ATUPA came around that time at Qaribu Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya
