The Lagos State Government on Tuesday immortalized late Dr.,
Tunji Braithwaite by naming Dolphin Park, Ikoyi after him. Governor Akinwunmi
Ambode announced the honour at the Service of Songs for the deceased at Yard
158, Oregun.
The governor, represented by his deputy, Dr Idiat Oluranti
said the immortalisation was in the recognition of Braithwaite’s contribution
to the growth of the state and Nigeria in general.
In his tribute, Ambode said the deceased deserved his place
on the honour scroll of the state.
According to him, the Braithwaite family would be called for
commissioning when the facility is touched up.
Ambode added that the activist and legal luminary during his
life time fought for true democracy as he joined other democracy icons like
Bola Ige, Chief Abraham Adesanya, Bola Tinubu and others to fight the
military government of late General Sani Abacha.
