Nigeria, May 6 -- Students of the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) have accused the federal government of politicising the long-delayed Calabar-Itu Road rehabilitation project, pressing fresh demands following a road crash that killed three of their colleagues.

PREMIUM TIMES had reported that a road crash along the Calabar-Itu Highway in Cross River State killed three UNICROSS students and a staff member after a bus conveying them collided with a container truck.

In a video circulating online, student leaders whose identities PREMIUM TIMES could not verify were seen addressing the Deputy Governor of Cross River, Peter Odey. The students called for accountability over the crash and urgent intervention on the deplorable road.
