How Four Students Of Nasarawa State University Died In A Stampede During Sharing Of Government Palliatives

A reliable source from the Nasarawa State University Keffi has confirmed that 4 students died while struggling for Nasarawa State Government palliative.

Recalled,  The State Governor, Engineer Abdullahi Sule affirmed that 2 students of NSUK died today (Friday) while sharing 7.5kg of rice and N5, 000.

He disclosed this during the flag-off of the fishing Festival at Tungan Nupawa community of Lafia East Development Area of Lafia Local Government.

Some eyewitnesses attributed the death of 4 Students to poor planning by the Governor’s aides and the management of State University.

A student who pleaded anonymity faulted the Governor for giving 70% of the students of the Federal University of Lafia 7.5kg rice and N5000.

The student insisted that the majority of the FULafia students are non-indigents of the State but were given almost 90% of the students’ palliative.

The palliative went on to other institutions in the State, and the students in these institutions received handsomely, even at Federal polytechnic Nasarawa.

Today, the last place for the distribution of this palliative is the state-owned University where more than  70% of the ingenious people of Nasarawa State are studying.

 It was gathered that the tickets were only given to fragment students while the majority of the students were not captured and the few that were given tickets were allowed into the convocation ground.

In the process of the distribution, angry and hungry students waiting outside the gate forced themselves inside, which led to a stampede and instantly four people lost their lives.

The Public Relations Officer of the University could not be reached for comment at press time.
