JUST IN: Former Oyo Governor is Dead
Chief Victor Omololu Olunloyo, former governor of Oyo State and a prominent figure in Nigeria’s political and academic landscape, has died just days before his 90th birthday. He passed away in the early hours of Sunday.
The news of his passing was confirmed by Barrister Oladapo Ogunwusi, a former Editor of the Nigerian Tribune, who released an official statement on behalf of the family. “With a heavy heart but gratitude to the Almighty, we announce the passing into glory of Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo… mathematician and engineer, and renowned technocrat,” the statement read.
Olunloyo was widely respected for his contributions to education and public service. He was the first rector of both The Polytechnic, Ibadan and Kwara State Polytechnic. In addition to his political career, he held the chieftaincy titles of Balogun of Oyo and Otun Bobasewa of Ife, underscoring his influence within Yoruba traditional institutions.
The family has appealed for privacy and understanding from the press and the public as they begin preparations for his funeral.
