The body moaned that the incident is not only regretted but uncalled for, adding that
It is one tragedy, too many, even as it demanded that the situation should be immediately nipped in the bud.
Imo State University Junction, it noted ,for years, has become a death trap where reckless drivers display their mastery of negligence and lackadaisical attitudes.
“The leadership of IMSUAA regrets this painful incident, it is also appealing to the state government to endeavour to protect the students by constructing speed breakers right opposite a popular supermarket around the spot or constructing a flyover at the junction.
“The state government is further appealed to assist bereaved families as part of efforts to cushion the effects of the grief and restore confidence in them,”it stated.
It prayed for the repose of the souls of those who died in the avoidable incident, IMSUAA leadership further calls on drivers of big lorries as well as Taxi, Buses to always apply caution to avoid further occurrences of similar pathetic experiences.
