The Lagos State University community is mourning the loss of Mr. Johnson Ademola, who tragically died on Monday while waiting in line at a Wema Bank branch located on the university campus. Mr. Ademola was the Financial Officer of the Faculty of Law and the CEO of Accounts at LASU. He had been a dedicated employee of the institution for over 30 years, having joined the university as a Typist in January 1986.
According to eyewitness reports, Mr. Ademola slumped while waiting to withdraw cash at the bank. Despite efforts to revive him, he was declared dead at the University Health Centre. It has been suggested that Mr. Ademola’s death may have been caused by the stress associated with the naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria, which has resulted in long lines and other challenges at banks across the country.
The LASU community is in shock at the sudden and tragic loss of Mr. Ademola, who was highly regarded for his professionalism, dedication, and integrity. His colleagues and students describe him as a kind and selfless person who was always willing to help others. His passing has left a significant void at the institution, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
LASU has expressed its condolences to Mr. Ademola’s family and colleagues, and has promised to work with the relevant authorities to ensure that the circumstances surrounding his death are thoroughly investigated. The university has also reminded its staff and students to prioritize their health and well-being during these challenging times and to seek help when needed.
The tragic end to Mr. Ademola’s life is a stark reminder of the importance of taking care of ourselves and our loved ones during these difficult times. It is also a reminder of the immense contributions that dedicated public servants like Mr. Ademola make to our institutions and our society. His loss is a significant one, and his memory will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
