Toutes nos condoléances à la Famille de notre regretté Maitre et à toute la famille de la SAA . C'est une grosse perte pour l'Afrique. Il était un homme serviable, humble et d'un humanisme exemplaire. Repose en paix  cher Professeur.

Toutes mes condoleances à sa famille biologique et au monde scientifique.
Reposes en paix.

I first met the Prof. during ICASA 2005 in Abuja Nigeria, and oh what a gentle soul! Prof. Femi Soyinka had the heart that cared completely! He had the smile that brought so much pleasure and the love that brought joy beyond measure. We will miss him dearly.

But until then, we will hold onto the blessed hope of resurrection, looking forward to the bright resurrection morning when the redemmed shall proclaim:

J'ai connu le Professeur Soyinka dans le cadre de la préparation et de l'organisation de la Conférence africaine sur le sida et les IST (ICASA) alors qu'il présidait la SAA. Nous avions particulièrement travaillé en parfaite intelligence lors de l'édition de 2005 au Nigeria. L'homme de science a fait preuve d'élégance et de générosité pour permettre au programme communautaire d'avoir toute la dimension et tous les espaces d'expression possibles afin de marquer et de valoriser l'importante contribution des communautés à la réponse au VIH. C'est à partir de cette édition que le programme communautaire a été totalement intégré à ICASA. Merci infiniment Pr Soyinka pour ce respect manifesté à l'endroit des communautaires.
J'ai également en mémoire tous les moments de rigolade passés ensemble.
Repose en paix au Paradis cher Pr Soyinka. Amine
Innocent Laison 

A great loss , we can't forget him.
 May his soul rest in perfect peace.
  

I was a Senior Registrar in Neurology at the Department of Medicine. OAUTHC, Ile-Ife between December 1983 and July 1984. I was to go to UCH, Ibadan for further exposure in neurology but my HOD in Medicine blocked the process. I then opted to train in dermatology as the training was available in Ife but the same HOD in Medicine asked me to leave the Department as my choice was in a different department. It was Professor Soyinka who willingly accepted me as the first resident in Dermatology. That was a huge contribution to my professional and academic pursuits. I will always remember this kind gesture of my teacher, Professor Soyinka. May God Almighty comfort the family.and those of us who benefitted from his impactful earthly sojourn in Jesus name. My joy however, is that he has gone to rest in the bosom of the Lord.

Nos condoléances les plus attristees à la famille Soyinka et à la famille scientifique ICASSA.

Toutes nos condoleances a la famille du Professeur et toute la SAA. Tu vas nous manquer et dort en paix !

Prof Femi Soyinka was a very dear friend and colleague during my time in Nigeria from 1995.  I was so privileged to have been able to support his Ambassadors for Hope project and other HIV related work. He and Kofo were always hospitable and generous. I learned much from them both and shall always have find memories of them. Femis contribution to HIV prevention is unparalleled.  

I was very sad to hear of "Prof" Femi's passing. We worked closely together from about 2000, setting up a programme to get funding that NELA could use to provide grants to civil society organisations across the SW region, to strengthen the HIV response.  I learned so much from working with Femi, especially when he quite rightly pushed back and helped me understand what would work best in the context and emphasised the leadership role that NELA and the team should play.  Over at least a dozen visits to Ibadan I had warm and generous invitations to his home, many learning experiences, and some slightly unexpected adventures.  KNowing and working with him was a wonderful experience.

Rest In peace , we can't forget your contribution in this world , may your soul Rest in peace again.

A legend indeed , Your contribution to the Medical fraternity will go a long way . Thank you for you commitment . May your Soul Rest in Eternal Peace
