*Save dying Unilorin accident victim*

Leading Pro-democracy group in Kwara state, Kwara Must Change has called on the authorities of University of Ilorin and the general public to save a 300 level student of University of Ilorin, Okon Joseph Bright who has been lying helplessly for months, at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital due to a motor accident, which has rendered him incapacitated.

In a statement by the Convener of Kwara Must Change, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, the group said Okon Joseph Bright, who is from Akwa Ibom State is a 300level history student, in the faculty of art, at the better by far, University of Ilorin.

According to Kwara Must Change, on 28th December, 2015, Okon was involved in a fatal motor accident, which rendered him paralyzed, adding that, despite his paralyzed state, he could not raise the required financial resources to access necessary medical surgery to be able to use wheel chair.

"Since 2015 when this unfortunate accident happened, his family back in Akwa Ibom state couldn't do much for him and he has been left to his faith"

Hamzat explained that, a good Samaritan, one Dr Popoola Aderibigbe at the UITH, Oke Oyi in Kwara State volunteered to assist him in December 2018 and this good Samaritan took him back to UITH and since that period, he has been at the Uith under the care of this good Nigerian doctor.

Hamzat explained further that, even though the good Samaritan doctor has been helping him since December, there's little he can do alone. The enormity of the finances needed to perform the necessary surgical operations is beyond is capacity of the doctor, hence the need for public outcry.

According to available information, Okon is suffering from what was described as Incorporate paralysis, currently being managed by orthopaedic.

Presently at Uith in male surgical ward on bed 3 and he requires about N2000,000 to stand a chance of living again.

Kwara Must Change therefore call on all people of goodwill to save the live of this young man with whatever support we can raise.

He can be reached on 08066380417.
