Director of works and services at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) Frank Ogali has died in a car accident.

The management disclosed this in a statement on Thursday by the university’s spokesman Sammy Kpenu.

This came about four days after the death of the institution’s fifth vice-chancellor, Emeritus Prof. Nimi Briggs.

The statement read in part, “He died late last night in an auto crash at the Olobo Premier College U-turn of the East-West Road, close to the university’s main gate. His remains have been deposited at the mortuary. Ogali was a jolly good fellow and friend to all.

“Since he took over the affairs of the Works and Services department, there has been tremendous improvement in the quality of services rendered to the university.”

The spokesman said the university’s management has been receiving dignitaries coming to register their condolences.
