The Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) in Ondo State, Oluwatuyi Olasoji, has tragically passed away after collapsing at a filling station in Akure. Olasoji was reportedly at the station to purchase fuel when he suddenly collapsed.
Eyewitnesses say that the incident occurred amid the current fuel scarcity in the region, which has led to long queues and a stressful environment at fuel stations. Bystanders quickly rushed to assist him, but he was unresponsive. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The sudden death of the NULGE chairman has shocked the community, especially his colleagues and union members, who described him as a dedicated leader committed to advocating for workers’ rights. The cause of his collapse is yet to be determined, but it is speculated that stress or a possible underlying health condition may have contributed to the tragic event.
Condolences have been pouring in from various quarters, including local government workers, colleagues, and members of the public who were familiar with his work and dedication to the welfare of local government employees in Ondo State. Further details about his funeral arrangements and any official statements from NULGE will be communicated in due course.
