Lagos — As the remains of Major-General George Agbazika Innih (rtd) are lowered into Mother Earth, a popular funeral oration in a Shakespearean Play will be faulted. At the burial of Julius Caesar which was the title of the play, Mack Anthony, his close lieutenant had eulogized at the grave side "the evil that men do lives after then, the good is often interred with their bones". For this Agenebode-born war General, his goods cannot be interred with his bones. They are legacies that will live forever.
And it is indeed an irony of fate that George Innih would die as a result of injuries sustained in a road accident. One of his major achievements as Governor of Kwara State was road construction. He built a web of roads in llorin-criss-crossing the township with roadssome dual carriage and he opened up the G.R.A with a network of roads. He also built a road in each of the then 12 local government headquarters of the State, some of which were named after him, after he left office. He will continue to live in the hearts of the people of Kwara because of the great job he did in the State.
