I join well-wishers, acquaintances and friends of Prof. Lai Oso to commiserate with his family over his recent passing. May God that has power over our lives give his soul eternal rest while it also bequeath fortitude to his loved ones!
Prof. Oso, as anyone that had come in contact with him would attest, was a conscientious person, diligent in his work even as he remained ever friendly and approachable. A gentleman he was to the core.

From his intellectual fountain I had the opportunity to assuage my thirst some 33years ago, when in a post graduate school, he thought me Mass Communications Theories. Although the last time I saw him was when my programme terminated in 1990, my memories of him had been indelible, especially because he was an academic of unblemished character.
His demise was a shock!
Adieu, as you make peace with your Lord. Death is a journey. I wish Prof. safe journey to the great beyond
