UI-Kunle Adepeju Lives On ''The First Nigerian Student Martyr'' by mathology5431(m): 10:03am On Feb 01, 2017
Greatest Uites !!!!!!!!
Greatest Nigerian Student !!!
*KUNLE ADEPEJU MEMORIAL DAY 2017*

University Of Ibadan witnessed The Birth of A True Student Hero............

*~The Story:~*
_About 46 years ago, precisely on 1st of February, 1971, it was indeed a tense and gloomy day. The University community was held to ransom by a demand for a better welfare by the students. This resulted in an hunger strike followed by a massive protest by the students. The management could not control the uprising and it led to the invitation of the police force_
_In a bid to quell the uprising, a student was hit. In the run for safety by other students, a uite stood to save one of his fellows. In the course of doing this, he was wounded and hit on the head by a stray bullet._

We stand to remember a great hero, the *first Nigerian student Matyr,* a student of the *Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry,* and a *Mellanbite- Adekunle Ademuyiwa Adepeju,* who died in the pursuit of an improved welfare for his fellow colleagues.

Long Live ''Unionism''
