The current Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Olanrewaju Adigun Fagbohun, who announced the passing away of Olumide commiserated with his family, the LASU Community, friends and associates on the irreplaceable loss.
He prayed to the Almighty God to grant them the soothing comfort to bear the loss.
