The National Accreditation Council (NAC) yesterday expressed shock at the passing of its council member, Dr Olato Sam.
Dr Sam was fatally shot outside a bar at Plaisance, East Coast Demerara on Friday.
“Dr Sam was an outstanding member of the Council who provided critical reviews of proposals that were laid before the Council.
At the time of his passing, he was seeking funding for the strengthening of institutional capacity to aggressively pursue the implementation of NAC five-year strategic plan.
“His contribution to the Council’s business through his wisdom and known intellect and experience as an outstanding educationist and administrator will be sadly missed”, the NAC said.
