Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi,
has been urged to immortalise the late Col. Adekunle Fajuyi by renaming
the Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, after the deceased soldier.
A group known as Immortalise Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi said this in a letter to the governor.
The letter was signed by the Coordinator of ICAF, Mr. Dimeji Daniels; and the Assistant Coordinator, Mr. John Osadeyi.
The ICAF suggested that the College of
Education in Ikere-Ekiti was an alternative institution that could be
named after Fajuyi, who was killed during the July 29, 1966 coup. He
was 40 years old then.
The group lamented that while the
country had honoured some Nigerians who contributed little or nothing to
the development of the nation, the first Military Governor of the old
Western State, who sacrificed his life for the unity of the nation, had
been left unrecognised.
Guess the trending thing now is that names of higher institutions should be changed to honor.a known compatriot.
Just like the change of University of Lagos to Moshood Abiola University, which resulted to strike and riot by the students. Hope this won't happen a second time by the students of Ekiti State University.
