Fayemi mourns death of six Ekiti doctors
(Nigeria) Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Kayode
Fayemi, has mourned the death, in an auto crash, of six medical doctors from
Ekiti State and their driver, describing the development as devastating and
deeply saddening.
The doctors died in an accident along the Abuja-Kaduna road
on Sunday, on their way to attend the annual conference and delegates meeting
of the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, in Sokoto State.
Fayemi in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on
Media, Mr. Yinka Oyebode, said the death of these care givers was a tragic loss
not only to their respective families, but to Ekiti State, the medical
profession and to him personally, having had a personal working relationship
with some of them in the health care delivery programmes of his administration
in the state.
The former Ekiti State Governor said: “losing seven
citizens, including six dedicated and patriotic doctors in one accident is not
only disheartening, it is troubling.”
“It is indeed a terribly sad moment for the entire people of
Ekiti State. My condolences go to the families of the deceased, the government
and people of Ekiti State, and the Nigerian Medical Association.
“Our prayer is that God grants the families the fortitude to
bear the irreparable loss, and grants the souls of the deceased eternal rest.”
