It was a celebration of life when Bukky Latunji, a former General Manager of Zenith Bank and her siblings gave a befitting burial to their late dad, Bashorun Bandele Alfred Latunji, in Lagos last week.

Bukky, the fifth of the late Bashorun Latunji’s nine children, no doubt stole the show at the church service as well as the reception held at Eko Club with her unique and elegant designs.

The entertainment was unalloyed and the event also had top management and staff of Zenith Bank, who turned up to support one of their own. Spotted at the event were Zenith bank’s Executive Directors, Dr. Tope Fasoranti, Adaobi Nwapa, and Akin Ogunranti. Also, present at the occasion was Omooba Adefolahan Ibiyemi, the Sooko Abon of Ile-Ife, and other dignitaries.

Eulogising her late father, Bukky said, “My father, you taught me many things in life. You taught me to be self-confident, resourceful, and self-reliant. You ensured I went to some of the best private schools and you supported me as much as you could. Thank you because I turned out very successful.”

Pa Latunji attended CMS Grammar School and he was a politician and active member of the Anglican Church. He worked as a private secretary to the former Minister of Health, Dr Majekodunmi, and also as an undersecretary to the Minister of Education, Prof. Jubril Aminu while in the federal civil service.
