Mr Mbah spoke on Tuesday when he received in his office the Director-General of the National Emergency Management Agency , Zubaida Umar, and her team. At the meeting with the NEMA officials, who were in Enugu to flag-off the distribution of intervention items to the survivors of the Ugwu Onyeama tanker incident, Mr Mbah explained how the anti-spill lock works.
“But what happened in Enugu was a function of the spill of petrol that got into other cars, and they got ignited. “We are deeply grateful for the support you have also provided. It is also a demonstration of the partnership between the federal government and the sub-nationals in this case, which we would want to entrench. We provided the ever-needed logistics to ensure that these items get to those who are most in need of them,” he said.Speaking at the event, the Director-General of NEMA, Mrs Umar commiserated with the government and people of Enugu State over the fatal tanker explosion in the state.
“It is the collective responsibility of all tiers of government to provide support to disaster victims; hence, NEMA is therefore complementing the efforts of the state government,” she added.
