Shehu Sani, a former senator from Kaduna Central, honored the memory over 107 passengers who lost their life on December 10, 2005, aboard the Sosoliso aircraft.
Sani called the plane crash that claimed the lives of numerous Loyola College students in Abuja “unforgettable aviation tragedy” in Nigerian history.
He made this announcement on Sunday on his X page, @ShehuSani (previously known as Twitter).
He said most of the students would have been in their 30s were they alive today.
“The Sosoliso plane crash that happened 18 years ago, on this day in 2005 remains an unforgettable aviation tragedy in the history of our country. Little angels from the Abuja Loyola College, along with Pastor Mrs Bimbo Odukoya, and others perished forever. The nation lost 108. They would have been in their 30s now. In memory of those beautiful souls now in heaven. May their souls continue to rest in peace.
