Olatunde Olabode Vincent, former CBN Governor and board member of Industrial and General Insurance plc has died. He died on Monday at a hospital on Victoria Island, Lagos. He was aged 87.

Pa Vincent, a founding director of IGI, was born in Lagos on May 16, 1925. A consummate administrator and economist, he attended St. Saviour’s Primary School, Lagos (1930-35), CMS Grammar School, Lagos (1936-39), University of Manchester, England (1953-56) and the Administrative Staff College, Henley, England (1961).

He made significant contributions to national economic growth and would be remembered for his patriotism, commitment, professionalism and discipline. As the governor of the CBN between 1977 and 1982, he performed meritoriously, setting exemplary standards in accountability, probity and efficiency.

The Executive Vice Chairman of IGI, Remi Olowude, in a statement, described Pa Vincent as an elder statesman and respected opinion leader, whose views on critical national issues were highly valued.

“For us in the IGI Family, this is a great loss. Pa Vincent meant the world to all of us. We will forever appreciate his profound contributions over the years to the growth of our company. We will miss his words of wisdom and the rich professional experience he always shared with us.”

Pa Vincent was happily married with children.
