Trixx NG reports some students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, have taken to the streets to condemn the frequent accidents happening around the school gate.

 

The students called on the government to dualise and level the hilly Akungba-Ikare road using the hashtag #SaveAkungba on Twitter.

 

Accidents involving trailers had claimed many lives of students and that of some indigenes of the university host community.

 

On February 3, 2020, a graduate who went back to the school for his clearance was reportedly crushed and killed by a truck.

 

Two other people also died in the accident that happened around the school gate.

 

Also, some students returning to school for examinations were also killed by a truck a few kilometres to the school gate.

 

In 2021, the management of the school shut it down over a protest that followed a fatal accident involving a truck belonging to Dangote Cement, which occurred opposite the campus of the institution, in which no fewer than nine persons, including some students of the university, were killed.
