Delivering a message titled, `A Life of Two Great Halves Lived in Service: A tribute to Chief Ernest Adegunle Shonekan,’’ Osinbajo said the deceased creditably acquitted himself in various spheres of life.

If ever a man could be said to have lived a life of two equally consequential halves, and in service, that man would be  Shonekan.

“And so it transpired that within the first four and a half decades of his life, Chief Shonekan had established himself as one of the nation’s foremost corporate technocrats and a figure of renown in the boardrooms of many private companies, multinational  and indigenous in which he served as chairman and director.

“It was in this position that he became known as the face of Nigerian free enterprise.

“The UACN under his leadership fully evolved from a trading outfit to a manufacturing colossus with interests in diverse sectors ranging from agriculture and  automotive industries to cosmetics, electronics and textiles among many other areas.
