It can come at any point in time for anyone of us. He (Adesola) was at the bank arena to get some cash for himself, not for the university, when that call (death) came.

“All efforts to revive him went unproductive. It wasn’t something that anybody was expecting to happen, it was unfortunate.”

“We have not, as an institution, lost the Deputy Bursar or Bursar. Our Bursar, Saheed Babatunde Olayinka, is alive, hale, and hearty. The Deputy Bursar is also alive. We have about five Deputy Bursars in LASU and none of them is dead.

“The person affected is Johnson Ademola Adesola who, until his demise, was Chief Executive Officer, Accounts, in the Bursary Department. He was also the Faculty Finance Officer, Faculty of Law, before the sudden incident.

“He joined the services of Lagos State University on January 10, 1986 as a typist II before he rose to become the chief executive officer, accounts.”JAMB Result
