Scene of a boat mishap
The Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) Dr. George Moghalu, has expressed immense grief on the boat mishap that happened at Gurin River, a suburb of Fufore Local Government Area, Adamawa State, as well as at a river in Gbajibo, Mokwa of Niger state.
Extending his heartfelt sympathies to the families of the dead and the injured, the NIWA boss stated that the incidents were more disheartening as some of the victims on board were reportedly heading for farming activities.
Moghalu, while commending the life-saving work of the first responders, local divers, and police marine at the scene of the incident, wished the wounded a speedy recovery and success in the search and rescue of some missing passengers on the capsized boat.
The NIWA boss reiterated for the umpteenth time, the call on transporters to ensure strict adherence to safety regulations on the nation’s waterways, emphasizing the need for the people in the riverine communities traveling by boats and canoes to use live jackets and avoid overcrowded boats.
Dr. GEORGE Moghalu prayed that the Almighty God would comfort the grieving relations at this very difficult time.
