Comrade Ini-obong Uko, the Vice
President (SOUTH-SOUTH), National Association of University Students (NAUS) has
called on the Honorable Minister of Transportation, Rt Hon Rotimi Amaechi to ban Peace Mass
Transportation Services from operating in Nigeria. He made this observation in
a NANS Stakeholders meeting/Press briefing in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State yesterday
13th July, 2016.
According to him, the company lacks
the credibility to operate on Nigerian roads as they cannot employ competent
drivers who can drive with the consciousness that the demise of a soul in
Nigeria means a lot to the Nigerian community.
The Comrade disclosed that it is the
responsibility of students leaders like him to agitate for fairness in every
sphere of happiness in Nigeria and as a result of that, it is necessary for him
to call for the ban of this transport company as it has injured and claimed
many lives of innocent Nigerians including students and youths because of
carelessness in the side of their drivers.
Hear him, "I do not owe anybody
an apology as I say this, but let it be on record that as a student leader, the
lives of students means a lot to me, and each time a student dies, the students
community suffers a set back and this can not persist.
It is either they employ credible drivers or
cease to operate, next time their motor kills a student, I will sue them and
Nigeria will not fall." In the same vain, the dogged Comrade called on
Akwa Ibom State Government to award scholarship to students, he started
unequivocally that the current state government has enjoyed tremendous support
from students which contributed to the success of the government both before
and after the elections and posterity had it that the Government should have
the students community as their priority.
This is because the future of the
society depends solely on the products gotten from the school. However, He
commended the industrialization strides of the Governor, Deacon Udom Emmanuel
and Salutes the Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Rt Hon
Onofiok Luke for leading the most robust house of assembly which has supported
the Governor in the sustainable development of the state.
