Michael Filani of the Department of Geography, University of Ibadan,
passed away on Sunday, October 13, while watching the Nigeria/Ethiopia
World Cup qualifying match. The Ikole Ekiti-born professor
slumped and died while watching the match at his Oluyole Extension home
in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. With over 35 years of experience in
teaching and research, his areas of emphasis include transport planning
and development; economic geography; and regional development planning.
He served in several capacities both within and away from University of
Ibadan. He wrote and published more than 90 articles, technical and
consultancy reports on transport, regional development and planning,
particularly in Nigeria. His death was received with shock by the
university community yesterday. Lots of people said he was agile and
radiant at his last public outing
