The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola SAN has commiserated with the government and people of Lagos State over the tragic tanker explosion which occurred on Thursday evening outward Lagos towards Ojodu Berger. The fatal mishap which occurred when a tanker loaded with Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) lost control after descending the stretch of the bridge around the Otedola Estate led to the loss of nine lives and several vehicles. In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Communications, Mr Hakeem Bello, Fashola expressed sadness over the incident describing it as painful and most regrettable.

The Minister, who also condoled with families of victims of the accident, said it was a harrowing experience to learn that a family member who had gone to engage in productive activity would never return. “ I wish to extend my sincere condolences to the Government, People of Lagos State and the families of victims who died or suffered burns in this most unwelcome development”, the Minister said. While wishing survivors rapid recovery, Fashola commended the sense of duty of the emergency service providers who promptly responded to bring the resultant fire under control and managed the traffic.

The Minister said it was important for all stakeholders in the private and public sectors, especially owners and operators of articulated vehicles, to renew their commitment to best practices and road safety awareness in order to ensure the stoppage of unnecessary loss of life and property on the nation’s highways. Fashola, while reiterating the resolve of the President Muhammadu Buhari- led administration to continue to work to improve motor ability, journey time and achieve better travel experience on the nation’s roads, noted that available data indicate that excessive speeding was among the highest causes of accident hence the need for all road users to be conversant with traffic rules and regulations which promote safety on the nation’s highways.

The Minister prayed for peaceful repose for the souls of the departed victims of the accident.

@bolded: That is one thing you can't take away from the Yorubas, they love to speak their language even in London (on the bus, in the train and @parties), you will think you are in Lagos. But come to think of it... People of other nations seemed to love it, because it emanate confidence in thier language and culture, that's my personal observation.

COMMISERATING THROUGH THIRD PARTY IS A BAD IDEA ALL TOGETHER, FASHOLA SHOULD HAVE ADDRESS THE FAMILY DIRECTLY NOT THROUGH A MEDIA AIDE WHILE CONSIDERING THE SCALE OF THE TANKER TRAGEDY.

Has Fashola forgotten that he was the previous governor of Lagos state of which many expect him to do more than this?

Or is he still fighting Tinubu and Ambode politically?

In the developed western democracies that is what should have been done without delay.

FASHOLA SHOULD NOT FEEL TOO BIG TO RELATE WITH THE VICTIM'S FAMILIES.

A visit to the site of the incident is also very essential from a Federal Minister of Works, Power and Housing whose responsibility is to oversees the well being of this federal road.

Minister Babatunde Fashola apology is noted not minding the style he used.

A Pidgin english proverb says "AT ALL AT ALL NA HIM BAD" as he kukuma talk, the word carry go!

BUT WHY IS THE MINISTER OF TRANSPORT, MR CHIBUIKE AMEACHI NOT SAYING ANYTHING? He is keeping a golden silence?

May the soul of those who perished in the Otedola Bridge Incident along Lagos/Ibadan Expressway rest in peace in Jesus name.

May the Good Lord comfort all the victim's families and give them the fortitude to bear this irreparable lose.

since...and na your state ooo
