Anthony Adeniyi Adeosun, the husband of former Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun, will be buried in Lagos this week [1], [2].
The event draws attention due to the high profile of Kemi Adeosun, a former cabinet member, and the expected attendance of Nigerian political figures.
Most reports indicate the burial is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026 [1], [2], [3]. However, one report lists the funeral program for Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026, at 5 p.m. [4].
Anthony Adeosun died at age 62 [5]. The family said services will take place in Lagos, with the Harbour Point Event Centre mentioned as a location for the proceedings [3], [4].
President Bola Tinubu previously offered condolences to the former minister following the death of her husband [6]. The loss marks a private tragedy for the former public official who served as the head of Nigeria's finance ministry.
Details regarding the specific order of service, and the list of dignitaries attending the Lagos event, have not been fully disclosed to the public. The discrepancy in dates between news outlets and lifestyle reports suggests a multi-day series of events or a scheduling correction in the public record.
“Anthony Adeniyi Adeosun, the husband of former Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun, will be buried in Lagos this week”
The funeral of Anthony Adeosun serves as a moment of convergence for Nigeria's political elite in Lagos. Because Kemi Adeosun remains a recognized figure in Nigerian fiscal history, the presence of current administration officials, including the president's previous condolences, underscores the enduring social and political networks that persist beyond a minister's tenure in office.
