Vice President Kashim Shettima has commiserated with the people and government of Enugu over the fuel tanker fire, which claimed lives following an accident in the state, saying it’s time to put an end to avoidable tanker accidents and explosions.
The fuel tanker had on Saturday veered off course and burst into flames along the Ugwu-Onyeama section of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.
In a condolence message to families of those who lost their lives and the injured, the Vice President noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is very concerned and disturbed by the incident and other tanker explosions in recent times.
VP Shettima promised that following President Tinubu’s directive, the government will engage relevant agencies, including the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), on possible ways the road traffic authorities, as well as federal and state Transportation Ministries can cooperate to urgently forestall further tanker accidents and explosions across the country.”
