With heavy hearts, yours truly regret to announce the death of one of Africa's finest and distinguished personalities, Tayo Aderinokun. He died in a London hospital from a protracted illness. Until his death, Tayo was the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of one of Nigeria's biggest banks, Guaranty Trust Bank, Plc. Tayo, according to colleagues, admirers, employees and the country at large won many friends with his amiability, finesse, style and diligence. His stay as the helmsman of GTB oversaw the banks tremendous growth in the country's financial sector to be one of the most trustworthy banks. He alongside the bank won so many awards and improved in its fitch ratings.
He would be dearly missed by his friends, colleagues and his employees who to them he means the whole world. Popularly called Uncle T, he would forever remain in their memories. All GTB flags have been flown at half mast and preparations are underway to organise a befitting burial.
Adieu Great Man. Many people pass away in this world without fulfilling a pint of their dreams. But you did and I am forever proud of you. I will never forget what legacy you have bequeathed and would continue to build on that.
Sleep on in the bossom of our Lord, Uncle T.
