This was disclosed in a statement by Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, on Monday.
The President believed the Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Pro Chancellor of Federal University, Abakaliki, Bayelsa Medical University, Yenagoa and Chairman, Committee of Pro Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, lived for the good of the country and humanity, urging family and friends to immortalize his legacies.
Buhari, however, prayed that the Almighty God would grant the soul of the departed a peaceful rest
