President
Goodluck Jonathan has received with great shock and sadness, news of the tragic
airplane crash in Lagos earlier today.
On
behalf of himself, his family and the Federal Government, President Jonathan
extends condolences to all families who lost members in the plane crash, and
the government and people of Ondo State who have been plunged into sorrow yet
again while preparing to lay their former governor to rest. The President feels and shares the grief and pain of the Agagu family as they grapple with the further loss of beloved relatives and associates so soon after losing their husband, father and mentor.
He
prays that God Almighty will comfort the
Agagu family, as well as their relatives and friends, and grant them the
divine grace they will undoubtedly require to overcome the trauma of this most
trying time.
President
Jonathan views the plane crash as most unfortunate and regrettable, given the
concerted efforts of the Federal Government to enhance aviation safety in the
country.
He
has therefore ordered a thorough investigation of the crash by all relevant
agencies with a view to determining the cause and taking further actions, as
may become necessary.
