Unilag HOD E. A. Bassey Dies Of Heart Attack by Seun(m): 10:41am On May 21, 2012
Just a week after the UNILAG Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Babatunde Sofoluwe, died of a heart attack, University of Lagos has lost a lecturer in the Department of Creative Arts, Chief E.A Bassey.

Bassey died on Saturday of stress, old age and heart attack

His death threw the institution into a fresh round of mourning, as it was still making arrangements for the burial of the late VC.

Bassey's death leaves question marks, whether an urgent need for the review of the retirement age of lecturers and civil servants in general is needed, and perhaps compulsory, regular check-ups, and a review of the medical profile of aging lecturers will also be a good idea.

Bassey had served as head of the department and senior lecturer at the department before his death.

RIP to him.

But honestly and seriously,these men need to take a bow from their work place when the job becomes too stressful for them,but them no go hear,they keep pursuing money which kills them faster than when supposed.

Will it be a crime to give younger people a chance to work too? See young men everywhere looking for jobs and the old ones are dying from stress of the job,ngwanu. undecided

You want them to spend the final decades of their lives being useless, jobless and dependent on their kids? That would be awful.

Haba...because the VC died at 62, all lectures should be retired at 62. Not necessarily any cause and effect here.
May his soul Rest in Peace.

what exactly does retiring at a ripe old age have to do with being useless, jobless or dependent on their kids? Plus don't forget that so many of them back-dated their ages so much that by the time the say they are 75, they are actually 90. cry cry cry

I remember a Prof in my dept then that whenever he is climbing the stairs no other person dare climbs to avoid pushing him down because he was too old yet he lectures in two schools. At a time one of my lecturers was using him as an example of the causes of youth unemployment in the country because some of them are close to 75yrs but because of their lie-lie age, they will still be claiming 60yrs.

RIP

Be mindful of what you say or assume. We have very few lecturers that fit your description at Unilag. Most lecturers there are very high achievers, and many of them also want their students to achieve highly. These are people that sit their students down and counsel them on how to do research at the highest possible level and at the best of universities in the world, and maybe come back to contribute to the low key research in Nigeria. Unfortunately most of these very best students don't even come back again.

Not every lecturer is insecure, and Unilag is a school that boasts of very few insecure lecturers, especially the old ones like this honorable professor that just lost his life. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and the entire University of Lagos. May his soul rest in perfect piece, Ami.

Thank you,

Evans5050: MUST YOU WORK TILL 70 YRS BEFORE RETIREMENT?


Retirement age is [size=15pt]75[/size]lipsrsealed.


Don't let us blame the university lecturers for refusing to go home @ 60 most of them entered the system late and decide to leave the sytem late..

For the first time, I saw a post by Seun which kept me asking if he was really the one who posted it.
If your father is still alive and in his 70's would you open your eyes and see him work himself to death? By the way, if, at that age, he does not depend on you, his son, then on who else would he depend? On me?.
In addition, what is the correlation between taking necessary rests and being useless and jobless? Remember that even the government knows that, at a certain age, you're meant to retire.
Seun, your comment, to me, seems very bizarre!
