President Muhammadu Buhari has described the late pioneer Director-General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) Hayford Alile as a selfless person. Alile, 80, passed away on Monday in Lagos State. Buhari stated that the deceased used his spiritual background to promote the country. According to a statement by Buhari’s media aide Femi Adesina who commiserated with the family, Alile showed patriotism to the West African nation. “President Buhari believes the rich educational pedigree of Apostle Alile and his strong spiritual background were used for the benefit of the country, commending his sense of patriotism and national outlook in promoting peace, unity and setting up The Hayford Alile Foundation to cater for the poor,” the statement added.
