A 400-LEVEL Business Education student of Kwara State University (KWASU), Idris Aremu Agboluaje, has died in a road accident while rushing to write his first semester final-year examination.

Eyewitnesses said the student was earlier barred from entering the examination hall because he could not present his student identity card.

Agboluaje reportedly attempted to return to the school gate at high speed in a bid to catch up with the examination, but was involved in a fatal accident.

Reacting to the incident, the Association of Business Educators of Nigeria (ABEN), Kwara State University, Malete Chapter, expressed deep sorrow over his sudden death, describing it as a painful loss to the Business Education department.

“Our hearts go out to his parents, family members, friends and classmates during this difficult time,” the association said in a statement.

However, as of the time of filing this report, the management of Kwara State University had not yet issued an official statement confirming the incident. (Guardian)
