The management of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, has confirmed the death of Ajibola Ibitayo, a Part Two student of the Faculty of Dentistry, who reportedly took his own life after failing his examinations for the second consecutive time.

In a statement on Thursday, the university’s Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Olarewaju, said Ibitayo, with matriculation number DEN/2021/023, died after the results of the last semester’s examinations were released on Wednesday.
“The entire community of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, has been thrown into mourning following the death of a Part Two student of the Faculty of Dentistry. The student… committed suicide after learning that the results of the last semester examinations, released yesterday, would require him to repeat Part Two for another academic year. He had already been repeating Part Two during the last session,” Olarewaju stated.
According to him, the deceased, whose father is a medical doctor, allegedly injected himself at his family’s residence in Ejigbo, Osun State.
Reacting to the incident, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Simeon Bamire expressed deep condolences to the bereaved family and urged parents and guardians to help young people understand that temporary setbacks are not a reason to give up on life.
“We appeal to parents and guardians to instil in their children and wards the understanding that temporary setbacks in the pursuit of success are part of life and not the end of it,” Bamire said.
He encouraged students to view failure as an opportunity to reassess and seek renewed paths to success, rather than as a final verdict on their future.
Bamire concluded by praying for comfort for the bereaved family, the Faculty of Dentistry, the College of Health Sciences, and the entire university community, asking God to grant them the strength to bear the irreparable loss.
