The scene of the car crash
We reported it here a few weeks ago
that a female National Youth Servive Corps (NYSC) member was burnt to
death alongside a young boy who was returning from school in a tragic
car accident which occured in Mbiokporo Nsit in Nsit Ibom Local
Government of Akwa Ibom State.
The 26-year-old corps member identified as Ngozi Onyekwere, has
been finally laid to eternal rest on Thursday in her home town in Imo
state, as her interment sent shivers down well wishers’ spines.
The Director-General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.
Gen. Suleiman Kazaure, described as shocking, the death of the corps
member, who is an Accounting graduate from the University of Port
Harcourt.
The DG who was represented by Reverend Akinolu Ajayi, said during
the funeral that the late Ngozi’s demise was shocking and painful to the
NYSC, “It is very painful that death struck when Ngozi was serving her nation, just two months to her passing out of the scheme.”
Also speaking during the funeral, the Coordinator of the NYSC in
Akwa Ibom state, Mrs Ngozi Chukwuka, described the late Ngozi as a
diligent corps member, adding that her posting to the government house
was based on merit.
“When the Akwa Ibom State Government House asked for three
corps members who studied Accounting, Ngozi was among the three that
scaled through out of the 38 graduates interviewed.
“It is not the NYSC that caused her death. Her death during the
NYSC programme was one of the vicissitudes of life. It is pertinent at
this juncture to disclose that the NYSC bore all the expenses incurred
for the burial of the deceased. It is our prayer that God grants her
soul eternal repose," the coordinator said.
