The National Universities Commission (NUC) says it lost five of its principal officers in the DANA Air plane crash in Lagos on Sunday.
This is contained in a statement issued by the management of the commission in Abuja.
In the statement, the NUC said the officials were travelling for an official assignment to Lagos.
They are Prof. Celestine Onwuliri, the Chairman, Standing Committee on Private Universities, Malam Mahmud Dukawa , Deputy Director, Treasury; Mrs Maimuna Shuaibu, Deputy Director, Open Distance Education; Mr Sonny Ehioghae, Deputy Director (Establishment & Staff Matters) and Chinwe Obi, Deputy Director, Facilities & Infrastructure.
The late Onwuliri is the husband of Prof. (Mrs) Viola Onwuliri, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
When the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) visited the commission’s secretariat in Abuja on Monday, NUC staff, friends, and sympathisers gathered in groups and were discussing the mishap.
