<\/p>\nShe died late on Easter Monday while returning to Lagos from an official trip<\/p>\n
Her car was said to have rammed into an articulated vehicle at Sagamu, along the Benin- Ijebu-Ode Express Road.<\/p>\n
Mr Abiodun Abe, the Director in charge of Business Development at the NT confirmed the development to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday through a telephone interview.<\/p>\n
Abe also told NAN that himself; the Public Relations Officer of the NT, Mr Steve Ogundele, and other management staff were taking the corpse of the deceased to Ilorin, her home town.<\/p>\n
Abe said that the management of the NT would soon issue a press statement on her funeral details.<\/p>\n
NAN reports that the late Oyedepo assumed duty as the incumbent CEO of NT on April 22, 2018.<\/p>\n
An artiste, Pelumi Lawal, told NAN that it was sad that the deceased was returning from Calabar only to die around Sagamu.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe had begun to transform the National Theatre to its pride of place within the last one year of her leadership.She was indeed doing a good job without making noise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe toilets and the air conditioners at the National Theatre\u2019s halls have begun to function well. All these were to her credit.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was a very humble and a hard working administrator who used to listen to people\u2019s advice on how to move the NT forward. It pains me that we have lost such a great woman. May she rest in peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
NAN correspondent who visited the NT also observed that there was lull in business around the popular `Abe Igi\u2019 as soon as the operators heard about the unfortunate incident.<\/p>\n
Most of the operators who converged in groups were observed discussing the development in hushed tones and wearing somber mood.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
