in News

President Bola Tinubu, on Sunday, condoled with the government and people of Oyo State over the death of Victor Olunloyo, a former governor of old Oyo State.

Mr Tinubu extended sympathy to the Olunloyo family and all who knew and respected the late elder statesman and scholar.

“Olunloyo, renowned for his mathematical prowess, obtained a PhD in Applied Mathematics and Number Theory from St. Andrews University in Scotland at 25.

“In 1962, at just 27, he became a commissioner in the old Western Region. He served multiple times as commissioner in the Western State, which succeeded the Western Region.

He further extolled the deceased’s leadership qualities as the founding rector of The Polytechnic Ibadan and Kwara State Polytechnic.

The President emphasised Mr Olunloyo’s academic and professional journey and his belief in education as a transformative tool for national development.

“May the Almighty God grant him eternal rest and bring solace to all who mourn this distinguished statesman,” the President concluded. (NAN)
