The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the cheque was presented to the deceased’s next of kin and sister, Mrs Folasade Adeyemi, at INEC office in Ibadan on Tuesday.
NAN recalls that the late Adeniran, who was until her death serving in Ona-Ara Local Government Area of Oyo State, died in February, in a road accident while returning from INEC training.
Dr Mutiu Agboke, the State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), said that the commission had acted in line with its life insurance policy for election officials, including adhoc personnel before and during elections.
“On behalf of the commission and entire INEC staff in Oyo State, I wish to express my profound deep regret for the loss of our illustrious daughter/corps member.
We also express the sincere condolence of the commission to the family over this irreparable loss.
“Though, the commission’s insurance policy makes provision for both permanent and adhoc staff, nothing can be counted worthy for the life lost.This presentation of token is just to cushion the effect of this irreparable loss to the deceased family,” he said.
Mrs Eniola Ambekemo, the State Coordinator, NYSC, commended INEC for fulfilling its agreement on the corps members in terms of insurance.
She described deceased’s death as very unfortunate, saying she would have passed out of service with her colleagues in October.
Ambekemo also thanked God that no corps members died in the recently conducted election in Kogi and Bayelsa states.
Adeyemi, the deceased’s sister who received the cheque on behalf of the family, appreciated INEC and NYSC for standing by the family.
“God says we should give thanks in all situations and circumstances. Though, it is hard to bear, but we have to accept it as the will of God,” she said.

For N1.9million she Risked her life and Died?? Why do these corps members still take up these jobs during Elections? Or they see as a way to commit suicide? I'm confused , with all the violence and deaths, they still apply.. 1.9m that he /she would have earned more than in few years on getting a job and tarising care of their family.. shit hole country.
ReplyDeleteNa wa. If they don't sacrifice, how will the elections hold.
ReplyDeletePity innocent girl had to pay with her life
God forbid that I or anyone close to me die for this country. I reject that type of sacrifice abeg. Rip to her.
ReplyDeleteToo bad, may her Soul continue to RIP .
ReplyDeleteThis is Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteWhere inec prefers to pay condolence visit and give a token for the dead, than improve the electoral process
What is actually sad is that people who have no idea her struggles in school and to become what she was will still join in benefitting from the money.
ReplyDeleteName sake RIP.
ReplyDeleteKachi,kindly read the article again,she didn't die as a result of election violence but an accident while returning from training
ReplyDelete...Pls let's be guided and not apply sentiments to everything, though no amount of money, even a billion naira won't cure the loss, but if INEC refuse to pay a dime, even the court of law won't hold dem against it. As at the time of her death, she had no bond or agreement with INEC yet, as she hasn't concluded the training exercise, to be shortlisted, she hasn't filled the oath of secrecy and other forms.... Many did their best to go for the trainings and still couldn't make it to work. Another point was that she was an Ona Ara LG corper and accident didn't take place in the LGA. So I can still appreciate them for thinking outside the box here and doing something okay for once.
