Jos Blasts: FG To Establish Trauma Centre For Survivors

The federal government has said that it will establish a trauma centre in Jos, Plateau State, to aid survivors of the Jos twin blast who are traumatised by the incident. This was made known by the minister for water resources, Mrs Sarah Reng Ochekpe, and her counterpart in women affairs, Hajiya Zenabe Maina, who led the federal government team on a visit to victims of the blast at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH). Ochekpe told newsmen that “President Goodluck Jonathan is worried and saddened about the bomb blast that has left scores dead and many injured, and that is why he has directed me to come visit the victims and to sympathise with the families of the dead.” “The perpetrators and the sponsors of bomb blast in our country are aiming to destabilise the entire nation; they are planning to sow the seed of mistrust and hatred among the adherent of faiths”. “Mr President is worried about recent happenings in the country and he is doing everything possible to ensure that terrorism is nipped in the bud”. “Our president is assuring citizens that the federal government remains committed to winning the war against terror. He is urging Nigerians to be more vigilant”. The duo described the act as callous and totally unacceptable considering the huge destruction of properties and loss of lives left on its trail.
