President Bola Tinubu extends heartfelt condolences to the Sawyerr and Amure families on the passing of their beloved matriarch, Mrs. Feyemi Adebisi Sawyerr.
The President says Mrs Sawyerr, who will be committed to Mother Earth on Friday, was a consummate health professional whose life was defined by service, love, and grace.
President Tinubu praises her for her life-saving work as a professional nurse and midwife and for dedicating decades to the health and well-being of others in Nigeria and abroad.
The President recalls that from her early years at Massey Hospital in Lagos to her distinguished professional journey in the United Kingdom and eventual return to serve her nation, Mrs. Sawyerr exemplified excellence, compassion, and commitment to humanity.
“In public service, Matron Adebisi’s contributions to the Family Planning Council of Nigeria remain a testament to her dedication and vision. As a wife and mother, she was a gem to her family. God blessed her with the grace to age with dignity and respect, surrounded by loving children and grandchildren,” the President says.
President Tinubu earnestly prays that God Almighty will grant the soul of the departed eternal rest and comfort all who mourn her passing.
