A wave of grief has swept across Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo State, following a horrific accident involving an 18-seater bus transporting prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members to the Orientation Camp in Gombe State.
According to early reports gathered by Global Egberi Media International, the accident occurred yesterday along a northern highway when the driver allegedly lost control of the vehicle. The impact was fatal and catastrophic.
Preliminary information indicates that 16 out of the 18 passengers—mostly young graduates—are feared dead, while the remaining two survivors are in critical condition and receiving emergency medical care. Their names have not yet been released, but confirmation from sources reveals they were all traveling for the commencement of their national service.
Emergency responders and security agencies raced to the scene to recover bodies and evacuate survivors. The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has since launched investigations to unravel the immediate and remote causes of the tragedy.
As Nigeria mourns yet another heartbreaking loss involving corps members, families of the victims anxiously await official communication. For now, neither the NYSC Directorate nor the Presidency has issued a formal response, sparking public calls for improved safety regulations concerning NYSC-related transportation.
The Adeyemi Federal University community remains deeply shaken, with students and staff expressing shock over the tragic end to what should have been a promising new journey in service to the nation.
