Lokpobiri Visits Jigawa After Fatal Petrol Tanker Explosion, Emphasises Stricter Safety Measures

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, on Friday, visited the site of the recent petrol tanker explosion in Majiya Town, Taura Local Government Area of Jigawa State.

A statement signed by the minister’s spokesperson, Nneamaka Okafor, stated that Lokpobiri was in the state to express his condolences to the government and people of Jigawa.

The minister also visited the Government House in Dutse, where he met with the Governor of Jigawa State, Umar Namadi. 

During the meeting, Lokpobiri conveyed the federal government’s sympathy to the state over the incident that claimed many lives. He emphasised the need for enhanced safety measures in the transportation of petroleum products.

“On behalf of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, I extend our deepest condolences to the government and good people of Jigawa State. This tragic incident is a reminder of the importance of ensuring that only licensed and certified drivers convey petroleum products. 

“We are working closely with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to strengthen these standards,” the minister stated.

He further disclosed that he had recently engaged with the Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Mr. Shehu Mohammed, to forge a partnership aimed at enforcing strict regulations regarding the certification of tanker drivers.
