Following the death of a deputy registrar of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State, Dr Amos Arijesuyo, the management of the institution is set to liaise with the security agencies in the state and neighbouring Osun State to make the Ibadan-Ilesa-Akure Expressway safe for travellers.
Arijesuyo, who worked at the Guidance and Counselling section of the Students’ Affairs Department of the university, was attacked by gunmen alongside his driver and one other unidentified person.
According to a source in the institution, the planned meeting with the security agencies is to ensure that the expressway is safe and to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
