‎The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity‎ to the Vice President, Laolu Akande‎, in a statement described the late aide who passed a week ago after a period of illness as a diligent economic professional and Certified Financial Analyst (CFA).

Akande said the‎ Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, condoled Adu’s wife, children, mother and the entire family on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari and the government.

He said ‎Adu’s death was untimely and prayed God to grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss.
