Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia today visited victims of the gas explosion which happened on Saturday, October 7, 2017, at Atomic Junction in Accra.
Dr Bawumia was with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in Tamale for a three-day official tour but rushed to Accra on Sunday morning to get first- hand information on the devastating incident.
Before going to the 37 Military Hospital to commiserate with the victims who sustained serious burn injuries, Dr Bawumia visited the  scene to check the level of damage.
Addressing the media after visiting the site of the fire disaster Sunday morning, the Vice President warned against any form of resistance to an upcoming policy to enforce safety standards at fuel stations.
“This is one too many. This is about the eighth explosion that has happened in three years, and I think what Ghanaians really want is solid policies to deal with this once and for all. We are going to move to deal with it. It is not about committees upon committees and nothing gets done. I think that we owe it to the country and the government is going to take this very seriously,†he assured.

Meanwhile, Nana Addo in the Twitter post promised to clamp down on any act that can cause the devasting incident to occur again.
“Government is resolved, now more than ever, to ensure such an incident does not occur again.â€
