Ex-SUG President Etimbuk Daniel Dies at NYSC Camp

Etimbuk Daniel, the immediate past president of the Students' Union Government at a university, died at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in Enugu State. He complained of a headache and was given medication by camp personnel, but his condition worsened, prompting a request for hospital transfer.

However, the necessary approval for his transfer came too late, and he died before receiving further medical attention. Comrade Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, the president of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), expressed deep concern over the incident, calling for a thorough investigation.

A doctor later identified the drugs administered to Daniel as fake. Afeez emphasized the ongoing threat posed by fake drugs and highlighted the gaps in medical care at orientation camps, urging for stronger protective measures.

He extended condolences to Daniel's family and stated that NANS would communicate its official position and further actions regarding the matter in due course.
