Amidst rising rate of hardship in the country, the Chaplain of All Saints’ Chapel, University of Benin, Ven. David Osazee Egbenusi, has urged members of the university community and Nigerians at large to show love and care among one another.
Ven. Egbenusi gave the charge on Sunday September 11 (today) during the Chapel’s first service held at the All Saints’ Chapel, University of Benin, in Benin City.
He emphasised on the need for love and care among Nigerians especially this period of untold hardship in the university community as a result of the ‘No Work, No Pay’ policy of the Federal Government against the striking university lecturers.
Ven. Egbenusi spoke against the backdrop of the recent development in the university community where one Prince Carter Oshodin reportedly committed suicide on Friday in Umelu Community, Upper Sakponba area of Benin City over alleged unfavourable financial conditions.
According to the cleric, as little as Two Thousand Naira (N2,000) show of love to the deceased could have averted the death of Oshodin who has not been paid salaries for months due to the strike action embarked upon by the university-based unions.
Until his demise, the late Prince Oshodin was said to be a data entry personnel at the University of Benin.
