President Muhammadu Buhari has paid tribute to Professor Felicia Adebola Adedoyin, renowned professor of Education and composer of the National Pledge, saying her patriotic fervour would be remembered anytime the national pledge is recited.
The President said the thoughtful and solemn words of the National Pledge by the iconic composer have become an invocation to every citizen of the country to serve our fatherland with faithfulness, loyalty and honesty.
He said Nigerians would continue to honour the memory of this legend who in 33 words gave the country a timeless promise to keep for the nation.
The President extended his commiseration to the Adedoyin family, friends and associates as well as the government and people of Oyo state on the passing of the academic and writer, whose immense works would remain indelible in our minds.
He prayed Almighty God to grant the departed eternal rest.
