Thank you Victor for sending this information to our colleagues. I was still trying to recover from the shocked of the sad news and also believing it was not true. Unfortunately, it has turned out to be true.  We have lost one of the pillars of Nutrition in Nigeria. Professor Akinyele has contributed to the growth of Nutritional  Science nationally and internationally.

I particularly miss him because we share the same passion towards developing a Country-specific Food Composition Database for Nigeria (NIFOODS). We can not question God but pray for grace for his immediate family and all of us who mourn him.

We in NIFOODS by the special grace of God will try to continue the work he has started and will not fail to acknowledge his contributions. We thank God for the legacies he has left.
May his soul rest in perfect peace!!!

Dear Colleagues,
 
We at AFROFOODS deeply mourn the untimely and shocking passing on of our amiable coordinator who has given so much to the field of nutrition and has contributed significantly to improved food security and biodiversity exploitation in Africa. The last one week has been a period of great sadness for us in Nigeria. The first major workshop of the National Working Group on Food Composition held only in November, 2013 at his instance, and we are just about getting a complete FCDB for Nigeria!
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
 
Victor Enujiugha
