Few days after his death, the SMP 53 Class of the Lagos Business School has expressed deep shock over the painful passing of one of its members- Alhaji Abdullahi Lawal, a banker with First Bank Plc.
According to a statement issued in Lagos on behalf of the group by its executives, the late Lawal recently took ill but could not get immediate medical attention in Kano and died, thus adding to the long list of eminent indigenes of the ancient city who recently passed under mysterious circumstances.
The statement described the deceased as a perfect gentleman and a loyal friend, who had a positive attitude to life. It reads in part: “Alhaji Abdullahi Lawal was a perfect gentleman and a loyal friend. He will be remembered for his incredibly positive attitude to life and love for his family.
