President Bola Tinubu has directed relevant federal agencies in transportation and road infrastructure to redouble their efforts and work with state governments to enhance the safety and security of travellers and residents.

The president stated this in his condolence message to the government and people of Niger State on the petrol tanker explosion on the Bida-Agaie-Lapai- Road on Sunday in which 48 people died alongside several livestock.

A statement by the president’s special adviser on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga said the president pledged continued support for efforts aimed at providing relief to those affected.

President Tinubu commiserated with the families of the dead and injured while sympathising with the owners of shops affected by the tragedy.

The President commended the federal and state emergency management agencies for their swift response and also commended good-spirited Nigerians who mobilised to the incident scene to assist the victims.

According to the Niger Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), many people were injured in the accident, which also involved a truck loaded with cattle and passengers.
