The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has announced that the Federal Government has directed the immediate transfer of victims of the recent tanker explosion from Suleja General Hospital to tertiary health facilities to ensure they receive prompt and enhanced medical care.
Mr Idris stated this in Suleja, Niger State on Sunday when he led a high-powered Federal Government delegation including the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Nentawe Yilwatda and some heads of agencies, to carry out an on-the-spot assessment of the situation and equally condole with the government and people of Niger State over the recent tanker explosion along Dikko Junction in Suleja.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is deeply saddened by what has happened. He asked us to come here to see the situation. We have just gone around the wards, and we have seen those who are very critically injured as we are visiting, one of them, unfortunately, passed on, and we were told that this is the eighth victim of the fire explosion that has just passed on today and what we are seeing is the dire need of emergency medical attention, which the Federal Government is taking.
