SPECIAL REPORT : ONE YEAR REMEMBRANCE AND LIP SERVICE TO EMERGENCY RESPONSE IN OUR LAND

SPECIAL REPORT : ONE YEAR REMEMBRANCE AND LIP SERVICE TO EMERGENCY RESPONSE IN OUR LAND

Indeed it was a black Sunday indeed when an ill – fated dana aircraft carrying 158 passengers enroute Abuja – Lagos crashed and killed all 158 passengers on board and 10 people on ground at the iju ishaga area in lagos state.

This is very sad going by the unfortunate circumstances that led to the death of many lives on board on this unfortunate day.
The sad state of the emergency response team is still a very big issue on the lips of many citizens of Nigeria.
The question is that how proactive is the government in the area of emergency response , one year after this unfortunate crash. Can the country manage disasters much better and reduce the casualty rates to its bearest minimum.

The people are watching , will the government continue to pay lip service to emergency response in the country.
In totality how precious is the life of an ordinary Nigeria in the hands of the government of the day.
For one whole year, they have struggled in vain. Families and friends of the departed in the ill-fated Dana flight 992 that crashed into the densely populated Iju-Ishaga neighbourhood of Lagos State have continued to cry out. Those who lost loved ones and valuable property to the Dana air crash of Sunday, June 3, 2012 have spent the last twelve months agonising and today they will remember again the sad memories of how their loved ones died in the ill-fated aircraft. But such memories will be more bitter this year as the compensation due to many of them have been denied them.

May their gentle souls continue to rest in perfect peace , amen.
