Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a short video shared by @ademoney149 showed the moment some polytechnic students brought a cake to celebrate their lecturer.
The undergraduates gathered around him as a young man led the crowd to give a speech. He thanked God for the man's life. With an emotional voice, he mentioned how the lecturer has been a father to them all.
In the short clip, the students also appreciated the man's wife for giving him the support he needed while carrying out his duties. They called her the first lady of their department.
