THE Vice-Chancellor of Achievers University (AU), Owo, Ondo State, Professor Samuel Aje, has passed.
He was said to have travelled to Lagos for the Christmas break last week Friday, but passed in the early hours of today, Thursday.
The cause of Aje’s death, who assumed office in June 2020, was still unknown at the time of filing this report.
Confirming the death, the Head of Media and Protocols of the university, Mr Adebayo Olagunju, said the institution was awaiting the cause of the VC’s death.
He described the sudden death of Prof. Aje as “sad and unfortunate,” adding that the whole university community was shocked when the news first broke out.
“The family would soon issue further details on the incident,” Olagunju stated.
A senior lecturer in the school said the death of the Vice Chancellor was not only shocking, but devastating.
“We were very shocked when we heard the news of his death.
“There was no sign of sickness on him before the Christmas break and we are yet to know the real cause of his death,” the lecturer said.
