On 15 December 2019 we lost Chief Olakunbo Thomas.

He passed  away after a short illness.

"Chief Thomas was a member of the CANA and FINA Bureau 2000 –2012.

He was also a member of the FINA Swimming Technical Committee for several years.

At the time of his death he was a FINA Honorary Member.

During the recent FINA World Swimming Championships in Gwangju, Korea many of us did chat with Chief Thomas.

Although he mentioned he was not well; but he looked hale and hearty.

He will be dearly missed by the entire aquatic family." 

We bid farewell to a FINA Honorary member and a gentle soul.

Rest In Divine Peace Chief Thomas
