The Vice-Chancellor of Achievers University, Owo, Professor Samuel Aje, is dead.

The Vice-Chancellor was said to have travelled to Lagos for Christmas break last week Friday and passed on in the early hours of Thursday.

He described the sudden death of Prof. Aje as “sad and unfortunate” and said the whole university community was shocked when the news first broke out.

“The family would soon issue further details on the incident,” Olagunju stated.

“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,” he said.
