The secretary of the United Nations Mr Koffi Annan expressed his deep sadness over the Nigerian disaster which occurred in its capital “Lagos”. A fuel pipeline explosion that killed more than 250 persons burned until they couldn’t be identified, Annan pledged the whole world and body’s help to prevent from such accidents in Africa. The incident isn’t the first of that kind; the workers pay for the second time the price of the incompetence and bad management of rulers.

 

The U.N secretary extended his deepest condolences to the family victims whom nothing could make them forget the terrible tragedy they are facing, indeed their relatives went to work and go the cemetery instead of coming back home, the general secretary told the media he was disappointed the theft of fuel from Nigerian pipeline has become a frequent incident often with terrible consequences. Witnesses said people were rushing to pipeline after fuel couldn’t be collected and the explosion happened little bit later on Tuesday.

 Koffi Annan called for a good strategy and good management for a fuel supply, demanding the Nigerian authorities to be more responsible especially when it comes to civilian’s lives, as well as the study of the risks that could lead to environmental or technological disasters.
