A 400-level Business Education student of Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, Idris Aremu Agboluaje, has died in a road accident while rushing to sit his first-semester final-year examination.

Eyewitnesses said the student was initially barred from entering the examination hall because he could not present his student identity card.

In a desperate attempt to retrieve the ID and return in time, Agboluaje reportedly rode at high speed towards the school gate but was involved in a fatal crash.

The Association of Business Educators of Nigeria (ABEN), Kwara State University Malete Chapter, expressed profound grief over the sudden death, describing it as a painful loss to the Business Education department.

"Our hearts go out to his parents, family members, friends and classmates during this difficult time," the association said in a statement.

As of the time of filing this report, the management of Kwara State University had not issued an official statement on the incident.
