…NBSA appeals for urgent blood donation for victims
President Bola Tinubu has directed a thorough investigation into the tanker explosion that resulted in multiple accidents and loss of lives in Karu, Abuja, on Wednesday night.
The President condoled with family members who lost loved ones in the inferno, which happened at the peak hour.
President Tinubu ordered priority treatment of the injured in various medical facilities in the capital city.
The President directed security agencies, particularly those concerned with road safety, to pay closer attention to traffic around the capital city’s entry and exit points.
President Tinubu prayed for the souls of the departed and the grace of the Almighty God to comfort families that have lost their loved ones.
However, The National Blood Service Agency (NBSA) has urgently called on Nigerians, particularly residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to donate blood to support victims of the tragic vehicle explosion that occurred yesterday on the Keffi-Kugbo road in Abuja.
It said the devastating incident has resulted in multiple casualties, many of whom require immediate blood transfusions.
The statement signed by the Director General, National Blood Service Agency (NBSA) Prof Saleh Yuguda Thursday in Abuja, said hospitals and emergency response teams are working tirelessly to save lives, but an adequate blood supply is crucial to their efforts.
It urged all eligible donors to visit designated blood donation centers and hospitals across the FCT to make voluntary blood donations. “Your generosity can make the difference between life and death for those in critical condition”, it stated.
The statement said: “For further inquiries and directions to the nearest donation centers, please contact the National Blood Service Agency at 39 Abidjan Street, Zone Wuse or call 07088370905. Together, we can save lives”.
