President Muhammadu Buhari has enjoined vehicle owners to ensure roadworthiness to prevent road accidents and accompanying loss of lives.
This is as the initial reports on the Enugu road accident in which scores of people died, most of them school pupils, was attributed to brake-failure by the truck involved.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Mr. Femi Adesina, President Buhari expressed sadness of the Mgbowu, Awgu local government area accident.
The president condoled families and kith and kin of the dead, praying that God would grant them succour, and spare the country of such tragedy in future.
He also commiserated with the Catholic Church of Awgu, which runs Presentation Nursery and Primary School that the pupils attended, and the Enugu State government.
