 In 1933, after many dedicated years of missionary service Coquard died in Abeokuta.Father Coquard made contributions in Abeokuta much like Albert Schweitzer did in Lambaréné, Gabon in French Equatorial Guinea.While Schweitzer was religious and claimed that his mission was given to him by Jesus, he was not technically a religious missionary; yet he filled a quite similar role to that of Coquard.
