Posted by Thandiubani on Thu 17th Oct, 2024 - tori.ng

Atiku made the call in response to the petrol tanker explosion in Majiya town of Taura Local Government Area of Jigawa State.

The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has urged the Nigerian government to start transporting fuel via rail across the country.

Atiku stated this while reacting to the petrol tanker explosion in Majiya town of Taura Local Government Area of Jigawa State.

Recall that the incident that occurred on Thursday night led to the death of over 100 people.

Reacting, Atiku posted on X: “I am saddened by reports of the death of scores of people in a petrol tanker explosion in Majiya town in Taura Local Government Area of Jigawa State.

“The incident in Jigawa is one too many involving tragic petrol tanker explosions in the country.

“It is about time we explored other means, like rail, for transporting petroleum products around the country.

“It is also pertinent to train drivers involved in the transportation of flammable products and review the protocol for the transportation of petroleum products and other inflammable products.

“I wish to share my grief with the people and government of Jigawa State and ask for an expeditious rescue and control operation. No resource should be spared in treating the injured.

“I also sympathize with families that have lost dear ones to this tragic incident and pray that they be comforted and that the deceased find eternal rest. -AA”
