You gave your all, Sir! Even when in pain these past months, we'd have long calls mapping out strategies. You fought cancer and gave it your all. You did not shy away from even discussing it on #MorningCrossFire with Sheriff Quadry about 9 months ago - youtube.com/watch?v=gTvf0t…

You have left us,but what you stand for & your contribution to the Journalism & Development space remains Africa Centre For Development Journalism

Grateful that I met you through Motunrayo Alaka,the countless LONG conversations we have & for working with you these past few years. Rest on Rotimi 🕯

Society is roughly half men & half women - But women are under represented (in #governance & #politics )

If you look at #Nigeria ’s #parliament there is less than 5% womens representation

Would you describe that as #democracy ?

Would you describe that as equal #representation ?…

#Rotimi #Sankore RIP. He was a foremost mind on population, health, development and data strategy. #Cancer has devoured my intellectual companion and friend. Africa Centre For Development Journalism
