Elegushi of Ikate kingdom, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi has commiserated with the Vice Chancellor, Prof Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, the management and the enire community of the Lagos State University (LASU) over the death of Professor Esther Adeyinka Okubena-Dipeolu, a Professor of Botany and Director of the Lagos State University Directorate of Advancement (LASUDA).

He added; “Prof Okubena was passionate about LASU; she was committed to the development of the university and was rallying all stakeholders, through the LASUDA, to ensure that we all contribute to the continous development of the institution.

Oba Elegushi commiserated with the LASU community, family and friends, praying for strength at this moment of grief and the repose of the soul of the departed.
