Sodiq in a statement on Wednesday, advised students against taking their own life regardless of the situations they may find themselves in.
He wrote;
“Moments ago, we received very disheartening news about Miss Ayomikun Deborah (Graduate of Adult Education 2019/2020 set) who took her own life because of a possible extra year.
“Dear TASUEDites, when you feel like giving up, just remember the reason you held on for so long. The person who commits suicide dies once but those he or she leaves behind die a thousand times while relieving those terrible moments.
“We all need to come to the understanding that taking our own lives is not about us alone.
“Do we still need to ring the bell that some lives are attached to ours for survival and destiny fulfilment? What happens to all these people when we take our own lives?
“Suicide does not end the chances of life getting worse neither does it eliminate the possibility of it getting any better. When there is life, there is hope. Please stay strong at all times and speak to someone if the need arises.”
Two weeks ago, two students of TASUED, a male and a female also committed suicide by taking Sniper.
They were rushed to School’s Health Centre, but were both later confirmed dead.
