The Management of the Federal University of Technology Akure has paid a condolence visit to the family of the late former Vice-Chancellor of the Institution, Professor Albert Adeoye Ilemobade who was gruesomely murdered by two of his domestic staff.
At the home of the late don, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Adebiyi Daramola who led a delegation of FUTA’s Principal Officers wrote in the condolence Register, “The last eight days have been very terrible for us at the Federal University of Technology, Akure. This is particularly so given the fact that our former Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ilemobade was in the University less than 24 hours earlier to grace a wedding ceremony. The news of his kidnap and eventual death under a most gruesome condition has left us all in shock and grief. On behalf of the Governing Council, Staff and Students of FUTA, we say ADIEU OUR DADDY, till we meet to part no more. May his gentle soul rest in peace in Jesus Name.”

Daramola also described the late don as a patriarch of FUTA whose immense contributions and sacrifice for the development of the Institution will remain ever green in the history of FUTA.
He said Prof. Ilemobade while in office and even after leaving office showed keen interest in the development of FUTA by always identifying with the Institution.
The VC further said the late don will be sorely missed for his valuable counsel as an elder statesman and a renowned academic with enviable track record in University administration.
