Williams had a life that had an impact on history, Ezekwesili stated in a message on her verified X (previously Twitter) account in response to the elder statesman’s passing.

According to the former minister, being in his presence made new trainees in his organization feel as though they had already achieved  Greatness because of his impact.

“May God comfort children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and wider families as well as the Alum of the great Accountancy practice he founded.”
