General Johnson Olawumi, represented by the Director of Corps Welfare and Inspectorate, Mr. Michael Ahile, extolled the virtues of the deceased during a formal condolence visit to his family.

According to him, the NYSC family, Kaduna State, Ebonyi State and the entire nation will greatly miss the late doctor.


The NYSC DG also used the occasion to call on corps members serving in health institutions to always apply standard precautionary measures while discharging their duties to protect themselves.
