The Vice Chancellor of University of Uyo, Prof. Nyaudoh Ndaeyo, and the Rector of Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Dr. Moses Umobong, have appealed to the Federal Government to bring succour to families of would-be National Youth Service Corps members who lost their lives in an accident on their way to the NYSC Orientation Camp in Kastina State, last week.
Sunday stated that although no amount of money could compensate for the late Ukpere’s life, the Federal Government should give financial succour to the bereaved families as a way of alleviating their grief.The vice chancellor, on his part, said the institution has been mourning the death of the prospective Corps members, adding that the university has ordered that flag be flown at half-mast even as one minute silence is observed in all its official events in honour of the deceased.
To avert a reoccurrence of such tragedy, he urged the NYSC to liaise with registered transport companies that employ professional drivers who observe speed limits to convey prospective Corps members to their destinations.
