Oby Ezekwesili, a former minister of education, lamented the passing of Chief Akintola Willaims, the Doyen of accounting.
Williams, the first native certified accountant in Nigeria, passed away on Monday at the age of 104 in his home in Lagos, according to a previous Gistlover story.
It was discovered that the senior politician served on the National Board of Accountants and Auditors and was a founding member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN).
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.
She asked God for comfort to his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and wider families as well as the Alumni of the great Accountancy practice he founded.
He wrote: “Awww, it’s Goodbye at last. What a historically impactful life!
“Praise God for the legend that was the doyen of the accountancy profession in Africa, Pa Akintola Williams. He had only some weeks ago celebrated his 104th birthday and has now passed on to the great beyond.
“As young trainees in our days at Deloitte & Touché Akintola Williams, to be in his presence felt like one had already attained Greatness. #Unforgettable impact on our lives then and after.
“May God comfort children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and wider families as well as the Alum of the great Accountancy practice he founded.”
