The death of Alhaji Abdulazeez Arisekola-Alao has ruined his
plan to reopen his Ibadan-based flour factory, Lister Flour Mills, and
Lister Biscuits before Ramadan.
The multi-million factories are located at Podo Layout on the old Lagos-Ibadan Road in Ibadan.
It was gathered that the late businessman planned to hold a reopening ceremony when he returns home from London, but it was not to be.
A source close to the family confirmed that the late Arisekola-Alao injected huge cash into the companies, which were to resume full operation before Ramadan.
He was said to have nursed the dream of seeing Ibadan state created from Oyo State.
The late Arisekola-Alao was said to be looking forward to his 70th birthday, which is eight months away. The birthday was expected to be a grand ceremony, given his wide connection, influence and philanthropic activities.
Death snatched all these dreams away.
