IMMEDIATE past Commissioner of Education in Kogi State, Mrs Grace Elebiyo, is died.
She died in an auto crash which occurred between Okene and Kabba, on her return from a public function.
She was driven by his son, who is still under intensive care at an undisclosed hospital in the state.
Elebiyo was a member of the state executive council from 2012, when it was constituted by the governor, Captain Idris Wada, until when it was dissolved early this year.
However, she could not make it when it was reconstituted last September.
Wada has, however, commiserated with the people of the state in general and particularly her family.
The governor, in a statement, through his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Mr Jacob Edi, said he received the news of the transition with shock.
He recalled the selfless contributions of the late commissioner to services of the state.
According to him, “this death has further depleted the rank of our community leaders. Elebiyo was humble, service-oriented and committed to the growth of education in the state. This is one death too many.”
