The
Federal Government will do everything humanly possible to prevent the
recurrence of domestic air crashes in Nigeria, President Goodluck
Jonathan has said.
Jonathan, while speaking at the
unveiling ceremony of a cenotaph to honour the victims, who lost their
lives in the Dana Air, Flight J9 992 crash on June 3, 2012, said the
government had resolved to make the nation’s airspace safe.
He spoke at the General Aviation Terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja on Monday.
He said, “Today I want to say to all to
my countrymen and women and the entire world that we will make our
airspace safe. In this regard I reiterate our determination to do
everything humanly possible to prevent the recurrence of this
unfortunate tragedy.”
The President described the crash as “a monumental tragedy” to Nigeria.
He said, “All the 153 persons on board
and six others on the ground lost their lives. It was a monumental
tragedy for the nation.
“We commiserate with the families of all
those who lost their lives, especially on the first anniversary of that
terrible tragedy. We also feel and share the same sense of profoundness
to the victims of all other aviation accidents that have occurred in
this country.”
