    A renowned Nigerian novelist and writer, Mabel Segun, has passed away at the age of 95.

    The demise of the tennis champion, broadcaster, and diplomat was announced by her family in a statement late Thursday.

    According to the statement, Segun, a retired administrator, died in the early hours of Thursday.

    The statement added that her funeral arrangements will be announced later by the family.

    “It is with gratitude to God for a life well spent in the pursuit of excellence in Literature, Broadcasting and Sports that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Mabel Dorothy Okanima Segun (nee Aig-Imoukhuede),” the statement read.

    The novelist left behind a legacy of remarkable achievements and contributions to Nigerian society.

    Born on February 18, 1930, Segun was a true pioneer, breaking barriers throughout her illustrious career.

    Segun attend university in Nigeria, graduating from the University College Ibadan (now University of Ibadan) in 1953 with a degree in English Literature, Latin, and History.

    This achievement marked the beginning of a distinguished academic and professional career that would take her to various parts of the country and beyond.
