It was just a phone call that connected us together in 2018, when I sought your consent to be the guest speaker at LAUTECH Nanotechnology Conference (LAUTECH NANO 2018). You quickly agreed to the request and on October 24, 2018, you delivered a thought-provoking lecture "Nanomaterials Research: A Wonderful World of Great Opportunities in Africa" at the opening ceremony. The lecture was well received by the audience.

Since then, we have exchanged ideas and correspondences on Nanotechnology research...... It was a rude shock to hear about your death on 14/01/2021. Undoubtedly, this is a great loss to the Nanotechnology family in Nigeria and academia in general. Rest on Prof. Adegoke. May your soul rest in perfect peace.
