Professor Slumps And Dies While Watching Nigeria-Ethiopia Game

The Ikole Ekiti-born professor slumped and died while watching the match at his Oluyole Extension home in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

With over 35 years of experience in teaching and research, his areas of emphasis include transport planning and development; economic geography; and regional development planning. He served in various capacities both within and outside the University of Ibadan.

He wrote and published more than 90 articles, technical and consultancy reports on transport, regional development and planning, particularly in Nigeria.

His death was received with shock by the university community yesterday.

Many people said he was agile and radiant at his last public outing.
