The National President of Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN), Hon. Khalil Mohammed Bello, has condoled with the family and RIKE-SD over the passing of their beloved Executive Director, Dr. Mustapha Ayodele Popoola (PhD).

Before his death, the late Dr. Mustapha Ayodele Popoola was the Executive Director of Research for Impact, Knowledge Economy, and Sustainable Development (RIKE-SD) in Abuja.

In a message to the deceased’s family, KACRAN described the late Dr. Mustapha as a visionary leader and tireless advocate for sustainable development. His unwavering commitment to bridging academic excellence with practical, scalable solutions helped shape RIKE-SD’s core mission and extend its reach across Africa.

According to KACRAN, the deceased was an exceptional and dedicated public servant who served our nation with utmost commitment and integrity.

Allahu Akbar, earlier in his remarks, the National President, Khalil Mohammed Bello, maintained that the painful sudden demise of our beloved workaholic executive director, Dr. Mustapha Ayodele Popoola (PhD), is the most unexpected painful death to me, and I know to many, from the year 2020 to date.

Sadly, Dr. Mustapha died at the time when Nigeria’s farmers and herders are in desperate need of his services, the gentle man who converted his nights and days in his bid to provide Nigeria with food security.

On behalf of all members of the Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN), I extend our condolences to the family, friends, RIKE-SD, students, and colleagues during this difficult time.

We share in your grief and pray for Allah’s (SWT) comfort and guidance. May Dr. Mustapha Ayodele Popoola’s soul rest in Aljannatul Firdaus. Amen.
