Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Monday, described the death of the acting Clerk to the Senate, Mr. Adedotun Durojaiye, as a colossal loss, adding that he was a civil servant of repute.

Saraki in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, lamented that late Durojaiye passed on at a time when his experience was needed to move the Eight Senate to the next level.

He noted that the Lagos-born civil servant served selflessly and was dutiful in his contribution to the course of national development.

Saraki said, “We in the National Assembly and in particular, the Senate, received the news of the demise of Durojaiye with great shock.

“He was a vibrant and exceptional public officer. ?He was there at the inception of this Eight Senate. He conducted the elections of Presiding Officers. We will surely miss his vast experience, his vibrancy and commitment to legislative duties.”

The senate president, however, urged the family of the deceased to take solace in the fact that the late Durojaiye lived a life worthy of emulation.
