The late event and sponsorship manager of MTN Nigeria Dola Bamigboye will be buried on October 22, the family has announced.
A service of songs will also be held on October 21.
Mr Bamigboye died on October 10. He left behind his wife Ochee and their children – Bidemi, Ayodola and Ayoade.
Bamigboye was born in Leicester City, UK. His late parents Claudius Agboola and Phebian Bamigboye were both indigenes of Usi Ekiti.
After four years in England, he was brought back to Nigeria to start nursery school at Sisi Obasa day Nursery School, and later, Ladi Lak Primary in Yaba.
He had a boisterous childhood with his siblings – Gbemi, Bolamole and Fey. Bamigboye’s secondary school years were spent between African Church Grammar School and CMS Grammar School. He went off to Federal School of Arts and Science, and one year later, School of Basic Studies, Ahmadu Bello University. There, he met Ochee, whom he would later call wife. He often described a whirlwind romance, a meeting of perfect opposites who simply just clicked.
He moved to London to start a new chapter, completing a bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences from the Middlesex University, and a master’s in Social Sciences from Goldsmith’s University.
In 1992, Bamigboye returned to Nigeria to marry Ochee. From 2003, until the very end, he worked as the marketing and sponsorship manager at MTN Nigeria.
