The Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has received with shock the tragic death of Miss Adzuayi Ewuga, an indigene of the state and pilot with Caverton Aviation Cameroon.

Adzuayi, who was daughter of former deputy governor of the state, Solomon Ewuga, died in a plane crash in Cameroon alongside 11 passengers on May 11, 2022 on board a mini aircraft belonging to the Caverton Aviation.

According to local media reports, the aircraft was flying from Yaounde Nsimalen Airport to Belabo in eastern Cameroon when air traffic services lost radio contact and crashed, and there were no survivors.

However, in a statement issued to journalists yesterday in Lafia by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Addra, Governor Sule described Adzuayi’s death as a sad loss of an enterprising young woman, a role model and a worthy torch bearer for Nasarawa State and the country at large.

“Adzuayi Ewuga whose reported death in the ill-fated DHC 4-600 aircraft belonging to Caverton Aviation in Cameroon, is a sad loss of an enterprising young woman, a role model and a worthy torch bearer for Nasarawa State and the country at large.

“At this trying moment, our prayers as a people, state and government are with Senator Ewuga, his family and friends. We mourn this collective loss, but are consoled that Adzuayi, the young pilot lived an exemplary life.’’

The governor concluded by praying God to comfort and grant Senator Solomon Ewuga and the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss and the deceased eternal rest.
