Professor L.A.Salako annual memorial lecture: A tribute
Today’s inaugural lecture put together by former students, benefactors and associates of Emeritus Professor Salako to celebrate his wonderful life is coming under the auspices of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CPT) Forum of Nigeria.
Consequently, a few words seem appropriate on this website dedicated to his memory as Emeritus Professor of Clinical Pharmacology at University of Ibadan, Nigeria.
To start with, I never meet the Professor in life but first heard of him in 1988 in faraway Sydney, Australia from Dr. Anthony Smith, then Professor in Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology at University of New Castle Medical School, NSW, Australia, and now Emeritus Professor in his nineties. As soon as we were introduced with me as being from Nigeria he almost instantaneously animated and chatted so fondly and in glowing terms of Professor Salako’s pioneering research in Nigeria.
This encounter motivated my traveling to Ibadan while on a short vacation home to Nigeria in 1989 in an attempt to meet the Professor. Incidentally, the pioneer Head of Medicine Department, University of Ilorin, Professor John Hamilton, had at about that time moved to NSW as Dean and was experimenting with the COBES philosophy of training medical doctors pioneered by the founding fathers of University of Ilorin medical school of which he was part of.
This was to have the unintended consequence of extending the MB; BS programme by one year thus virtually ensuring no intern was available in 1988/1989 throughout NSW Australia including at the A/E department of Royal North Shore Hospital St. Leonards, where I was working part time as Fellow in Hypertension/Clinical Pharmacology. Unfortunately, at that visit to Ibadan I was not fortunate to meet him as a colleague of his gave the information that the Professor was away on a national assignment.
Professor Salako is widely described as pioneering indigenous research into Malaria Pharmacology, Treatment and putting University of Ibadan on the global map in that respect as the opportunity came along.
What is however less well talked about was that his body of research very early on through a series of elegant and simple experimental designs appropriate to the local situation established that standard interventions that worked best in non-African groups in Europe and America was less so in Nigerian groups. What is even more striking was the candor of reporting unexpected findings completely at variance with existing clinical practice not always in the best interest of marketing agenda even when the study was funded by parties operating in Nigeria health sector for profits. This is something increasingly absent in contemporary academic research into hypertension therapy. Professor Salako along with others set the tone upon which scholars coming after built upon.
May God continue to keep his memory alive through his scholarship actively bent to serve the best interest of Nigeria and its people.
Congratulations to the family he left behind who should take pride in his achievements captured for all time in his published works.

Happy posthumous birthday Sir.
I remember you specially today as usual.
I came into academics soon after you retired but that did not stop you from mentoring me. You were a wonderful mentor and i dare say father.
Going into academics rather late, God had it all sorted out and knew I needed your mentoring and he put you right there.

You gently nudged me on, provided opportunities I might never have been able to access, monitoring and ensuring i did things right. I remember how delighted you ere when I got the Chair of the UI in Pharmacology. You were visibly excited when I was elected Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Science.
Continue to rest in peace. Amen.

Professor Lateef Akinola Salako, FRCP, FWACP, FAS, NNOM, DSc, CON .
It was really unusual not to receive the regular responses to my text messages from a great and respected uncle . I normally kept him updated on my various academic activities but I noticed that I did not receive replies to my text messages from about June 2017. I assumed it was network challenges because of my new life as a medicinal plants farmer in Okeigbo, Ondo State . “Baba / Uncle “as I fondly called him was ever ready to offer me effective advice/leadership : Here are some examples of his friendly but firm instructions: “Tolu , get ready to deliver the next Academy of Science Lecture”. I recalled at another time that I went to visit him at his Magodo Residence some years ago . The main purpose was to request him to write a “Foreword” to one of my published books. Uncle gladly accepted the assignment from his mentee. Then ,the Prophet in him was demonstrated when introducing me to his amiable wife Rahmat, : “ Meet Tolu , the next VC of Unilag”. The rest is history.
Ęhin Baba ko ni baję o. Uncle was a humble, honest, sincere , and dependable teacher . He was my highly respected Mentor , an outstanding Researcher whom we all admired for his total devotion to duties, family , community and God. May his gentle soul Rest In Perfect Peace . May God console his entire family and numerous colleagues.

Tribute to a loving brother who has gone to rest - Mrs. Shukurat Olawale

Each time it crossed my mind that another great pillar and a genius in SALAKO family is gone, I ask why such a man with a heart as large as yours to accommodate all,shoulder for everyone to lean on, a Mentor, a Visionary Leader and also a Counselor should disappear from our mist all of a sudden. All that we are left with now is how brightly your light burnt and the warmth it gave us all.

You touched the life of all that you came across during your journey in this world. A very considerate, generous, never selfish, always loving and very kind-hearted man. These are the beautiful memories you left.
However I thank Almighty Allah for making me and my sisters part of the passengers that boarded the joyful journey in the train of life with you.

You will surely be missed, Goodnight our Dear Brother. May your kind and gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace ( Amin). Adieu Prof.

As a medical student in the early 80s, l found Professor Lateef Salako to be like all great teachers (not just of a subject but of life itself) hugely inspiring yet unassuming.
In later on interacting with his Omolara and Jide, medical doctor children, I was impressed by his fruitfulness.
Sleep on, conscientious teacher. May those you left behind garner the fortitude to remember your sweet memories. Always. From Akin-Tunde and Tinuola.

Inalillahi wa inahi rajiun. May Allah accept his soul in Al-Jannah Firdausi. Prof Salako was my hero throughout my stay as a medical student in Ibadan. I followed his footsteps and became a Clinical Pharmacologist. He shaped not only my academic pursuit but was immensely instrumental in my career in public service in Nigeria. He brought me into public glare in the profession when I became the third Chairman of the National Formulary and Essential Drugs Review Committee after him and another giant in the person of Prof. A F B Mabadeje. He directed my research efforts and encouraged me to pursue excellence in Clinical Pharmacology. He was an usually simple academic giant and occupied a unique niche in our hearts. Adieu, my role model and mentor. You are sure to see the good that you did as promised by Allah (Q99:8). My prayer is His forgiveness for your faults. Amin thuma amin!

Baba Salako was indeed a great researcher on malaria from whom we learnt so much from.
He was a great support to Nigeria National Malaria Programme.
May his soul rest in peace.

He was an accomplished academic and a committed servant of Allah and the Islamic faith. May his soul be received in Aljanat. May his soul find the best favours of Allah and may Almighty Allah console the family left behind. Amen.

Just want to add that Prof went to the elite school in the heart of Lagos,Nigeria MBHS acronym for Methodist Boys High School I heard from one of his classmates Late Professor Olabintan (my Latin teacher at the school ) that he was straight A's through out and earned him the nickname "eja"(Yoruba translation for fish) I.e an idiomatic expression for students who excelled in every subject.He'll be missed but will reside in our memories.Sun re (Sleep well)

Wow! Prof. L. A. Salako is gone!

I was privileged to be among the first set of students to benefit fully from Prof. L. A. Salako's excellent academic upbringing supervising my PhD Pharmacology Thesis (1972-77). TOUGH DRILLING but a very thorough and dedicated one! I am always very proud that he brought me up. I thank God he contributed to my academic achievements.

Prof. L. A. Salako (my Oga) is highly appreciated. I will continue to remember him for the special care and academic knowledge he imparted on me.

I pray that the almighty God will comfort the family and all of us who, during his lifetime, he welcomed with open arms.

I thank God that my path crossed Prof Lateef Salako's first as an undergraduate in the Faculty of Medicine, UI in the early 1970s and then in a more special way when I started my academic career much latter. Prof Salako is one of the best mentors any person could ask for. Guiding gently but yet firmly, passing on knowledge very freely and providing opportunities for growth. Leading by the hand as young mentees are helped to navigate turbulent landscapes.

You have left you foot prints in the sands of time and lived a worthy life. I will for ever cherish the wise counsels and deep insights even up to your last few weeks when I had the privilege of spending time with you. You still passed on knowledge and communicated meaningfully despite the fact that you were really ill. Rest in perfect peace dear Prof, dear mentor and indeed a father figure.

As I commiserate with the family I also want to thank Mummy and the children for their love, care and faithfulness over the years. God bless you all.

A Professor Emeritus Par Excellence

He stood out in his research and made tremendous contributions to the study and treatment of hypertension & malaria.

Besides these accomplishments, Prof was a caring husband, a brother, a friend and a consultant to the "Senior Girls" particularly on health matters.

He will be greatly missed.

Prof. Lateef Salako was a great scholar and administrator. Our paths crossed at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research(NIMR) Yaba, Lagos, when he was the director-general. As a medical/health reporter at The Guardian then, NIMR was one of the institutions I covered regularly. Prof. was soft-spoken, humane and always ready to attend to my inquiries. I will miss him.

I had very little contact with him but I heard great things about him and a few of those words have motivated me. One thing I heard about him is his ability to handle task promptly. His table is almost always free of work. Not because of idleness but due to exceptional efficiency. He was an excellent scholar and I have heard him give talks once or twice and was amazed at the ease with which he made complex issues look simple. May he be granted eternal rest.

THIS EULOGY IS FROM THE ENTIRE AWORILAND"
           (THE CLAN OF THE DECEASED)

            The Eclipse Of The Luminous Star
Yes, Lateef Akinola was old enough to die but alas, with the eclipse of the luminous star, a golden heart has broken not a few hearts. What a life; what a man. Professor Lateef Akinola SALAKO has translated.

He was born like any other child but Lateef, as a man who kept his stars shining from cradle, left no one, as to whom he was – intelligent, unassuming, persuasive and not only an intellectual giant but scholarly in all that he did. Even though, a National Merit Awardee, an eminent international scholar of note from the clan of the Aworis, he was nonetheless humility personified; a colossus in and off academics highway. 

But for, ‘it is for man to die’ otherwise Lateef had conquered death before it struck, through his service to improve humanity nationally and internationally yet, he never hesitated to contribute appropriately to his community.

No doubt, George Santayana’s insight gave us an opportunity to appreciate Lateef the more, when he intoned "There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval." Yes, as a people, Aworiland is proud of that interval which is the essence of this eulogy. Thankfully, from our observation and understanding of whom he was and what he stood for, we are sure that humanity is pleased with his contribution whilst that interval lasted. 

Though we are grieving but consoled with the thoughtful line from Pat Rodegast “If death could be seen as a beautiful clear lake, refreshing and buoyant, then when a consciousness moves towards its exit from a body there would be that delightful plunge and it would simply swim away”. We know that your flight is delightful.

We condole with the entire SALAKO family, particularly, your immediate family (amiable wife –Alhaja Rahmat Adebisi Salako and children) and pray God to give the fortitude to bear the loss and we thank everyone, for your support during this trying period. May his death from ours, be many years, far apart. Amen.

For and on behalf of the entire Aworiland, adieu, our dear son-Professor Lateef Akinola SALAKO

Professor Lateef Salako's brilliance

December 14, 2017
<p>The story among medical students in the early 80s was that Professor Lateef Salako graduated with distinction in ALL subjects except Pharmacology. And that in order not to be forever beaten by the subject, he promptly chose to do Postgraduate Fellowship in it! In those days of great quality in academia, it was a great tonic for us to try all we could to excel.</p><p>Of course we had no way of confirming the story, but each time I passed him on the corridors, I always nurse the wish to emulate him! </p>
