The Progressive Governors Forum, PGF, yesterday, announced plans to establish a Trust Fund to cater for victims of last Monday’s bomb blast at Nyanya, Federal Capital Territory.
This was announced by chairman of the group and Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, during a brief visit paid by the group to injured victims of the blast at the National Hospital, Abuja.
Okorocha, who was accompanied by seven other All Progressives Congress, APC, governors expressed the group’s condolences to families of victims of the bomb explosion which left 75 persons dead and over 100 injured.
Said he: “We know that they must be in serious pain at this moment. What happened was rather unfortunate. This is one killing too many. Our nation has experienced increased loss of lives.
“On a daily basis, we hear one ugly story or the other over the loss of lives. For the Nyanya incident, we, the APC Governors Forum, join millions of Nigerians to condemn this unholy act which does not do our nation any good.

Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
