Dana Air, Sunday June 17, joined hundreds of Nigerians in
a multi-faith service for those who lost their lives in the tragic accident of
Sunday, June 3, 2012. The candlelight
service, which held at the Muri Okunola Park, Victoria Island, Lagos, was
organized by S.E.E.D.S – an independent Non-Governmental Organisation.
Officials and cabin crew of the airline turned out en
masse to join their voices with the entire nation in prayers for the repose of
the souls of the departed, and also for their families. The highly emotional
service featured songs, poetry and readings in honour of the departed.
Commenting on the service, Tony Usidamen, Dana Air’s Head
of Corporate Communications said “There are no words to adequately express our
grief and sorrow over this tragedy which affects everyone in one way or the
other. Families have lost their loved ones, and the nation has lost eminent
citizens, as well as promising young ones. We too have lost some of our finest
and most dedicated staff, colleagues and friends.”
“We identify with the organizers of the event and with
all Nigerians in these dark moments in the life of our nation. The thoughts and
prayers of everyone at Dana Air remain with the families and friends of the
deceased in these extremely difficult times, and we will continue to assist
them in every way possible”, Usidamen added.
