Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has confirmed the death of his former special adviser on vocational and technical education Prof. Joseph Odemuyiwa.
The professor of business education reportedly died on Tuesday in an accident on his way to Ibadan.
Abiodun, in a condolence message, said the deceased was a team player who contributed immensely to the success recorded by his administration in the vocational and technical education during his first term in office.
“Prof. Odemuyiwa’s legacy as an educator and advocate will always be remembered and cherished.
“He was a highly respected individual who made significant contributions to the success of our administration in vocational and technical education.
“His sudden departure leaves a void that will be felt by many and will be sorely missed by all,” Abiodun said.
Odemuyiwa, 66, was once a lecturer at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, as well as Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun both owned by the state government.
