The National Association of Nigerian Students, Zone E (North-East), on Monday, issued 48-hour ultimatum to GUO Transport to take responsibility for the burial arrangements of five persons reportedly killed in a road accident involving the company’s vehicle.

The association also demanded that the transport company engages with the bereaved families and provide adequate support to address their concerns.

In a statement signed by the Office of the Coordinator, NANS Zone E, the association said GUO Transport must demonstrate its commitment to justice, accountability and compassion by responding to the families’ demands within 48 hours.

“NANS Zone E demands immediate action, adequate support for the bereaved families, and a clear commitment to justice and accountability,” the statement read in part.

It warned that failure by the company to comply with the ultimatum would trigger coordinated and lawful actions against its business operations across the North-East.

“Failure to comply within 48 hours will trigger coordinated, lawful actions against GUO Transport’s business operations across NANS Zone E until the company demonstrates its willingness to address the families’ concerns,” it added.

The students’ body said it would not remain silent in the face of what it described as injustice, urging the company to treat the incident with the seriousness and urgency it deserved.

NANS further called on GUO Transport to show compassion towards the bereaved families and take concrete steps to address the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
