Abiodun sympathises with victims of Matogun tanker explosion.

The Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, has expressed his heartfelt sympathy to the victims of the petrol tanker explosion at Matogun Area of Ifo Local Government Area of the state.

Abiodun, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, on Saturday, described the incident, in which no fewer than 10 houses and shops were destroyed by fire from the explosion, as unfortunate.

The governor, who thanked God that no life was lost in the explosion, however, expressed grief at the level of destruction of people’s property.

Abiodun explained that such an unforeseen incident was one of the reasons his administration decided to embark on the reconstruction of the Ijoko-Alagbole-Lambe-Akute Road, despite the huge amount of public funds sunk into the road without completion by the immediate past administration.

While suing for calm among the residents of the Matogun and its environs, the governor assured that work would be expedited on the road to forestall such an incident and to make the life of the people in the axis comfortable.

Abiodun, who reiterated his administration’s commitment to making the people of Ogun State enjoy the real dividends of democracy, stated that palliative assistance would be rendered to those who lost their property to the inferno, with the view to mitigating their losses.
