“May the souls of the departed rest in eternal peace,” said Thomas.

The NFVCB chief also used the opportunity to disclose that plans are being firmed up to standardise viewing centres across the country.

Thomas said the exercise will include a baseline mapping for a much needed data base, and expose viewing centre operators to new opportunities that will lead to facility upgrades and improved safety for the benefit of all viewing centre clients across Nigeria.
