Akure- Ibadan expressway is blocked by FUTA STUDENTS. they blockd d
road due tothe loss of their SUG President to motor accident. Police
are on ground but cannt do anything achieveable
It was a deadly Friday
as the trio of the students’ union leaders and students of the Federal
University of Technology Akure, Adeyemi College of Education Ondo and
the Ondo State School of Midwifery were killed in a ghastly motor
accident near Emure Ile along Owo road on their way from a best governor
award ceremony organized by a faction of the National Association of
Nigerian Students NANS in Abuja for Dr. Olusegun rahman Mimiko.
The names of the victims have be provided as the
presidents of the student unions of the Federal University of
Technology, Akure (Dapo Awopegba); Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo
(Abiodun Akintola); and Ondo State School of Midwifery.
They died in a lone accident at Emure Ile junction on the
expressway on Friday, according to the spokesman for the state police
command, Aremu Adeniran. The police attributed their death to
over-speeding. Nothing was said about the deplorable condition of the
highway. The Emure-Ile junction had claimed other lives before now.
They were travelling in a bus donated to them by Mimiko.
Their corpses have been deposited in a morgue while
others who sustained injuries are receiving treatment at the Federal
Medical centre, Owo.
The avoidable death is coming in the wake of continuous bastardization of the original ideals of the founding fathers of NANS.
Adeniyi Osadipe, a 200 level student of the Federal
University of Technology Akure lamented the death of the students and
advised fellow students to stay away from politicians as much as
possible. He lamented the state of the Nigerian roads whch is the result
of the wickedness of the politicains and questioned why any student
should put himslef in harm’s way to honour such politicians with
underserved awards.
“This is really sad and who knows the diabolical things these politicians do?
That road has claimed several lives in the past. I’d
advise all students to stay in their schools and shun these politicians.
This is so sad” he added.
NANS like every other association in Nigerian has become
highly politicized that it has turned into a ready and willing tool in
the hands of politicians. The organization is reputed for taking stand
against the masses in support of government’s draconian policies. One of
its key pastime is to organize award jamborees for Nigerian government
officials.
ikujuni Adebiyi said I sincerely feel for the families of
the victims may God give them eternal rest and let not this type of
accident happen to any of our youth again. I will advise our students to
take a serious note of this and face their primary purpose of attending
a higher institution, which is for learning not for making cheap money
from desperate minded politician by identify with them or participating
in any politics of such. from Ondo State to Abuja by road is a high
level of risk for a student who should be on their campuses studying
hard to become our future hope, just see this now they died for no
serious reason.
I sympathise with their parents. PARENTS WARN YOUR CHILDREN!
