The late Professor Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, Nigeria's longest-serving Health Minister since independence to date, has been variedly referred to as a distinguished academic, professional, public servant, technocrat, reformer, change agent, and mentor. His name is widely known not only within Nigeria but in Africa and, indeed, globally. Based on my knowledge of him as a result of working and interacting very closely with him in various capacities during the last twenty-seven (27) years of his life (1976-2003), I have highlighted in this paper some of his efforts and achievements for which he will forever be remembered.
已故的奥利科耶·兰萨纳·库蒂教授是尼日利亚独立以来任职时间最长的卫生部长，他被誉为杰出的学者、专业人士、公务员、技术官僚、改革者、变革推动者和导师。他的名字不仅在尼日利亚，而且在非洲乃至全球都广为人知。在他生命的最后二十七年（1976-2003 年）中，我曾以各种身份与他密切合作，因此我对他非常了解。在本文中，我重点介绍了他的一些努力和成就，这些将使他永载史册。
