Traders in Agaka Market and nearby areas, including Adabata and Sanni Okin along Abdulazeez Attah Road, Ilorin, will temporarily close their shops on Wednesday from 7:00 am to 10:00 am to honour the late Alhaji Yahaya Olayiwola Kuranga Ajia.
The Yoruba and Igbo traders in these areas made the joint decision to pay tribute to the highly respected leader, who was widely regarded as a father figure and symbol of unity within the community.
The late Alhaji Olayiwola Kuranga Ajia is remembered for his exceptional leadership and contributions to community development.
His legacy lives on through his son, Dr. Abdulmumin Yinka Ajia, an Associate Professor at Lincoln University, USA, and Director of its MBA Program, who continues to uphold his father’s values.
According to the announcer – Agaka, Adebara Sanni-Okin Trading Union Associate – the temporary closure demonstrates solidarity among the traders and reflects the profound respect they hold for the late leader.
Customers are encouraged to make purchases on Tuesday, early Wednesday morning before 7:00 am, or after 10:00 am when normal activities are expected to resume.
In addition, the family of the late Alhaji Yahaya Olayiwola Kuranga Ajia has invited friends, sympathizers, and well-wishers who could not attend the fidau prayer held on Sunday to join them in praying for Allah’s mercy and blessings upon his soul.
This collective act of remembrance stressed the lasting impact of Alhaji Kuranga Ajia’s life and leadership.
The traders and the wider community unite in prayer and respect, honoring a man who exemplified humility, generosity, and service.
