The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Vice President, Laolu Akande, in a statement described the late aide who passed a week ago after a period of illness as a diligent economic professional and Certified Financial Analyst (CFA).
Akande said the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, condoled Adu’s wife, children, mother and the entire family on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari and the government.
He said Adu’s death was untimely and prayed God to grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss.
