“Today, Pre-degree and Certificate students of the University of Port Harcourt held a solemn funeral procession in honour of their late colleague, Miss Zalmon Beatrice Ebirien, who tragically lost her life in the recent ghastly motor accident at Rumuokoro — the same crash that also claimed a 300-level student of the Department of Economics,” the statement notes.
Following the candlelight walk within the school premises, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Owunari Georgewill, addressed the grieving students who stopped at the Senate Building.
He urged the students to find comfort in the cherished memories shared and the strength of the UNIPORT community, while echoing, “May their souls rest in perfect peace.”
