Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Hon. Yakubu Dogara, Tuesday evening broke down in tears after
receiving the sad news of the demise of 21 students of Government Secondary
School Misau, Bauchi state in a ghastly motor accident.
The students, who were accompanied by three
teachers and their driver, were on their way to Kano State for an educational
excursion when the unfortunate incident occurred.
A statement issued by the Speaker’s Special
Adviser on Media & Public Affairs, Mr. Turaki Hassan quoted him as
saying; “I am deeply saddened by the untimely and sudden death of these
children. They died while pursuing education and in a quest for knowledge
as future leaders of our country.”
“This is a national tragedy of monumental
proportion and a huge loss to the country. These children embodied our hopes
and aspirations for a better society and their sudden death is a big loss to
Nigeria because only God knows what they could have become in the future.”
“I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to
their parents, students and teachers of Government Secondary School Misau,
Misau Emirate Council and the entire Bauchi State over this tragic
incident.”
Hon Dogara said no amount of words would be
enough to console their parents but prayed that God gives them the fortitude to
bear the irreparable loss.
“May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace
and may we never witness this again.”
