PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sadness over the death of five prospective corps members in a motor accident on Abaji/Kwali expressway, Abuja on Wednesday.

Buhari made his feelings known in a condolence message issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, on Thursday in Abuja.

He extended best wishes to all corps members on national service as well as new call-ups in various orientation camps across the country.

President Buhari reaffirmed that ”the welfare and security of these young Nigerians, who have obeyed the call to serve the nation with dedication and selflessness, will remain a key priority of government, even as the sacrifices of the fallen youths will never be forgotten.” (NAN)
