When it appeared the sky has fallen on my head, you comforted me and showed me an escape route and a light at the end of the tunnel. You worked had to establish Faculty of Engineering. You counselled many, gave them hope and a direction. Your death, like many other mysterious ones sent series of unanswered questions to the owner of the Universe. May God continue to comfort members of your family.

Keep resting on Prof.!!! Adieu.

I came into this life, you held me in your arms, you kept me safe, so no one could harm, you taught me values, lessons in life I would learn, you taught me to respect. Everyday I think of you, I still can't believe you're gone, you didn't even give me the chance to repay you for everything you've done, It hurts so much, Uncle, I don't know if I will ever get over your passing, the legacies you left behind will live on for decades. I will always do my best to live up to your expectations. I miss you so much my dearest Uncle, the pain does not ease, I pray you are happy and finally at peace.

Keep resting in bosom of thy Lord

We love you but God loves you most

God plz always console us

Words are not enough to express the painful vacuum created by your demise.

You were a beacon and an inspirator. You inspired me to see opportunities in learning and mentoring others. Am forever grateful for guiding me from the first day of work at the university.

I saw a father and a leader in you which propelled me to where I am today. You gave my career a deeper meaning.

Though you are no more but your legacies remain as a guide to all who were closed to you. Missing you is an under-statement but I know we shall one day meet to path no more.

According to the general rule of thumb, there are at least 5 persons that one would meet during the course of his/her life that would have a lasting impact on him/her and for me, the late Engr. Prof. Edoga was one of them.

This ever-ready-to-help erudite Professor was uniquely different. The legacies he left behind will live on for decades. His doggedness to position and re-position Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET), AE-FUNAI will never be forgotten.

I will never forget you and I will always do my best to live up to your expectations.

Rest in peace Prof.

Chief Odii (as he always called me).

Thank God for the time u spent on earth. Prof., you were a great man, a defender of people, a pace setter and indeed, a man whose dream and efforts got AE-FUNAI to an enviable height.

Ur loss is irreparable. We miss u Prof. The little time I walked closely with u revealed u were a great man, a man of the people, a man who never believed in giving up.

Am glad u left positive legacies. U were not perfect, yes, we know but u were one of the finest many of us in the Faculty of Engineering and Technology met. May your rugged but gentle soul continue to rest in peace, amen.

I miss u Prof.

There are people you expect to always be there, due to how present they always were. Their lives as certain to you as the rising and setting sun...

Your sudden passing, another painful reminder of just how fleeting this life is, here today gone tomorrow. We are taught to embrace change but at times like this it becomes very difficult.

I would have loved for things to remain as they were and have you still here with us, but then again such is this life.

I pray to see you again in the place bigger than life itself.

Adieu our Prof, gone but never forgotten...

With a heavy heart, I am constrained to write a tribute in honour of my amiable former Dean - Prof. Mathew Edoga.

It was really a privilege to have worked with him for those few years.

Just like he was fondly called by friends "MIGHTY", he was indeed mighty, though small in nature. Edoga was a man that believed that there is nothing practically impossible. He was a man who appreciated hard work, very courageous that he was not afraid of anybody when he would believe in a goal; he was a good motivator.

In addition, he was orator as he would hold us in the Faculty meeting for over 5 hours just because of the many stories he would tell. For everything that will happen in Engineering, he had a story to tell.

My encounter with him encouraged my world view that there is nothing impossible as long as I believe.

Prof. Edoga, little did I know you will leave us soon but our consolation is that you are resting in the Lord.

May your soul rest in peace.
