It's heart-wrenching to hear about the boat tragedy in Nigeria. This disaster highlights the urgent need for our community and government to come together and improve the safety and infrastructure of our local transport systems. Ensuring the well-being of every member of our community, especially those in vulnerable positions, should be our top priority.
