BREAKING: Former Oyo Governor Omololu Olunloyo Dies Days to 90th Birthday

Former Governor of Oyo State, Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo, has died, just days before his 90th birthday. The respected statesman and scholar passed away in the early hours of Sunday, according to a statement released by his family.
“With a heavy heart but gratitude to the Almighty, we announce the passing into glory of Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo, former governor of Oyo State, mathematician and engineer, and renowned technocrat, a few days before his 90th birthday,” the statement read.
A prominent figure in Nigerian political and academic circles, Olunloyo held the chieftaincy titles of Balogun of Oyo and Otun Bobasewa of Ife. He also served as the first rector of both The Polytechnic, Ibadan and the Kwara State Polytechnic, marking a career that spanned governance, education, and public service.
Dr. Olunloyo’s contributions to national development, particularly in the fields of science, education, and public policy, earned him widespread recognition and respect. His family described his life as “a long record of service to the nation and humanity,” adding that his legacy remains a source of pride even as they grapple with the painful loss.
The family has appealed for privacy during this period of mourning and requested the public’s understanding as preparations begin for a befitting burial.a
