Fasanmi, a Second Republic Senator, died on July 29 at the age of 94. “My only regret is that he has left us before the school will be officially inaugurated for academic activities when schools finally reopen,” Fayemi said. Fayemi, in his tribute entitled, “‘Tribute to a Man of Integrity,” said what attracted him to the deceased was his integrity. Fayemi added that Fasanmi belonged in the class of the youths of the 1950s when the nationalist movement was at its feverish peak. Tinubu described Fasanmi as a revolutionary and a politician of outstanding mien, civility and character who was worthy of being emulated.
