with shock the painful death of Okey Odenigwe, his wife and a son on Sunday

death of these persons leaving behind very little and innocent children to
suffer the pains of loss of parents"

send my heart felt condolences to Odenigwe family of Avo Omimi Enugwu Ukwu and
the Spiritual Director of Ebube Muonso, Fr. Emmanuel Obimma whose Personal

this which we cannot change and do more to save our people from such careless deaths
in future" she said.

however promised to make a legislation that would minimize deaths on Nigerian
highways when the 8th National Assembly reconvenes.

SAFETY COMMISSION should try and make our Roads safe and avoid chasing all this
dangerous Heavy duty drivers who may not be able to control the events that
will follow and which always resort to death on our highways.
