Late ECOWAS Commissioner, Prof. Leopoldo Amado
The West Africa Knowledge Economic Organisation (WAKEOrg) has commiserated with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission over the death of ECOWAS Commissioner for Education, Science & Culture, Prof. Leopoldo Amado.
“With sadness we learnt of the unfortunate and untimely death of an illustrious son of Africa and your Commissioner, Prof. Leopoldo AMADO,” WAKEOrg said in a condolence message dated January 27, 2021 and addressed to ECOWAS Commission President, Dr. Jean-Claude Kassi Brou.
“The Board of Trustees and members of staff of West Africa Knowledge Economic Organisation (WAKEOrg) commiserate with you, the entire team of ECOWAS especially his immediate staff, wife and children and pray the Almighty God to console everyone, comfort his immediate family, give them the confidence to carry on and grant eternal rest to the soul of Prof. AMADO,” WAKEOrg said in the condolence letter jointly signed by the Chairman, Prof. Ahmed Dan-Fulani, and Secretary General, Joel C. Dappa.
It said that having had “the rare opportunity but with great privilege to have worked with Prof. AMADO over the years,” it could testify that “he was a perfect gentleman, an Ambassador extraordinaire, Diplomat par excellence and was at the verge of pioneering a new economic and scientific frontier for the region. In our many meetings, he encapsulates the region with a vision of KNOWLEDGE and SMART THINKING as a driver for economic prosperity, sustainability and political stability and we kindly request ECOWAS under Your Excellency’s forward thinking leadership to sustain this vision as a legacy in his honour.
“Please accept our deepest condolences and at WAKEOrg, we will endeavor to work with Your Excellency and ECOWAS to see to fruition Prof. AMADO’s vision and equally immortalize this illustrious Diplomat in ways he had requested and expected WAKEOrg to pilot our proposed relationship outcomes with ECOWAS.
“Kindly convey our heartfelt pains to the immediate family of our departed Ambassador.
Deepest Condolences!!!”
