“This milestone marks an important phase in the ongoing campaign to reduce accidents on Taraba State’s waterways,” Oyetola said.

He emphasised that joint efforts between federal and state bodies would yield concrete, life-saving results for local water users.

Oyetola explained that the jackets would improve safety for those relying on the Benue, Donga, and Taraba rivers for travel and trade.

He stressed that long-term success depended on community compliance, continuous public awareness, and strong regulatory enforcement.

The Minister said providing safety equipment like life-jackets could significantly reduce accidents and ultimately save many lives. (NAN)
