Nigerian govt reacts as explosion rocks Iran

 The Federal Government of Nigeria has condoled with Iran
following an explosion that claimed 28 lives and left over 800 people injured.

 

Yusuf Tuggar, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, conveyed the
condolences in a statement issued on Sunday by Kimiebi Ebienfa, spokesperson
for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

 

Recall that the explosion occurred at Shahid Rajaee Port in
southern Iran, near the Strait of Hormuz, on Saturday.

 

The blast, according to officials, said was probably caused
by chemical materials.

 

Tuggar stated, “The government extends its deepest
condolences to the Government and people of the Islamic Republic of Iran
following the devastating explosion.

 

“Nigeria stands in solidarity with Iran during this
difficult time and shares the grief of families who lost loved ones in the
unfortunate incident.

 

“We commend the swift response of emergency services and
encourage continued efforts to assist the injured and affected communities.

 

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their
families, and the entire nation of Iran,” he said.
