President Bola Tinubu has condoled with the government and the people of Enugu State over the fuel tanker explosion, which resulted in the loss of lives on Saturday.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, stated this in a statement made available to TheIdeal News on Sunday.
The fuel tanker reportedly spiralled out of control and burst into flames while navigating the Ugwu-Onyeama section of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.
President Tinubu also commiserated with the families of the deceased and the injured and prayed for the repose of the souls of the departed and quick recovery for those receiving medical treatment.
The statement reads in part, “The President calls for caution and adherence to safety measures among road users, particularly fuel tanker operators.
“Furthermore, he directs agencies in charge of enforcing traffic rules to implement measures to prevent recurring fuel tanker explosions nationwide.”
