Confirming the sad development, UNILAG’s deputy vice-chancellor of development services, Folasade Ogunsola, said the institution’s management was “again shocked to receive the news of the death of another great scholar.”
“It is true Professor Ajeyalemi is dead. We are still in shock. Nigerians should know that Covid-19 is real and they should please use masks appropriately,” Ogunsola said.
This development is coming days after Professors Femi Odekunle and Oye Ibidapo-Obe had earlier died recently of COVID-19.
