Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has assured Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi State that the Federal Government will reach out to the families affected by the petrol tanker accident that occurred in the state.
Bello disclosed this while briefing State House correspondents after a private meeting with the Vice President on Thursday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Recall that no fewer than 30 persons died on Wednesday when the petrol tanker exploded and ignited a fire that also destroyed property at Felele, Lokoja, Kogi State capital.
The governor said that the Vice President also promised that the Federal Government would rehabilitate that section of the road to guard against another accident.
He said: “The discussion was very okay; the vice president is a very caring father, and he is concerned about what happened particularly yesterday–the unfortunate fire accident that claimed the lives of innocent citizens of the state.
