      Benue Links Akwanga Crash Survivor, Ufuoma Peace Oghenerume, to be Called to the Nigerian Bar
By Ukan Kurugh Ukan
Destiny, it is said cannot be denied and this is being evidenced in the life of Miss Ufuoma Peace Oghenerume. Being one of the two persons who survived the Benue Links tragedy that claimed over a dozen lives months ago at the Nasarawa Eggon hills, Ufuoma endured excruciating pains in theatre and is now glued to a wheelchair to perfect her healing.
She was in transit to Makurdi to undertake her final clearance at Benue State University so as to obtain her certificate for screening for her call to Bar before the tragedy occurred. But God had destined her to become a lawyer and even the accident could not stop it as she miraculously survived.
She would graciously participate in the Call to Bar ceremonies between 26 and 28 November and become Solicitor and Advocate of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
Let us remember her in our prayers.
Congratulations Learned Counsel.
