R.I.P Chigozie Nwofor

This young man Chigozie Nwofor was on board the ill fated Young Shall Grow Smart Coach, that was involved in a fatal carnage with a Dangote truck and fuel laden tanker along Benin-Shagamu express way, last week Friday, which led to the loss of many lives. He was a graduate of Electrical & Electronics Engineering from the Federal University of Technology Owerri (F.U.T.O). He worked with Diamond bank in Enugu and successfully travelled for his sister’s wedding on Saturday 30^th of March before embarking on a trip to Lagos last week Wednesday for a job test. After the test, he boarded the ill fated bus back to Enugu on Friday without any premonition of the tragedy that was lurking ahead. He was a promising young child to his family and the only son amongst four sisters as his father repeatedly exclaimed in deep sorrow that he has lost his “sight”. May God grant his soul eternal rest in his bosom. The Federal Road Safety Corps has to put in place more mechanisms to prevent carnage on our highways and the government has not even shown interest in this incident because the victims are not as affluent as the people on board the ill fated Dana air crash of last year. May the soul of humble Chigozie and others who were burnt to death rest in perfect peace.
