Former Lagos state commissioner for housing, Bosun Jeje, has tragically passed away. The news of his death was announced by his elder brother, Pastor Adekunle Jeje, on his Facebook page on Saturday, September 2, 2023. Bosun Jeje, who was affectionately known as "BOJECO" or "Mr. PARKERS," was laid to rest according to Muslim rites.

Bosun Jeje served as the commissioner for housing during the administration of Babatunde Fashola, a former governor of Lagos state. His tenure was characterized by various brilliant ideas aimed at addressing the housing challenges faced by Lagosians. He was widely regarded as a technocrat and a dependable ally in the service of Lagos.

Reacting to the news of Jeje's death, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, a former lawmaker representing Lagos East senatorial district, expressed his shock and described the late commissioner as a brother, friend, and a decent gentleman. Ashafa also recognized Jeje's contributions to public service, stating that he dedicated his life to making a positive impact on the lives of the people.

"In times like these when our hearts are heavy with grief and the pain of loss, we continue to pray for the comfort and fortitude of Almighty Allah to abide with his dear family," Senator Ashafa said.

Bosun Jeje's passing comes shortly after he faced defeat in the Surulere 1 federal constituency election. Femi Gbajabiamila, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, emerged victorious and secured his sixth term in office. Gbajabiamila, who has since resigned to assume the position of Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, expressed his condolences to Jeje's family and recognized his efforts in the political arena.

The news of Bosun Jeje's death has left the Lagos political landscape in shock and sadness. As the community mourns the loss of a dedicated public servant, his legacy will continue to live on through his contributions to housing development in Lagos. He will be remembered as a man who strived to make a difference and improve the lives of the people he served.
