The appeal by Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for donations for victims of the explosion in Abule Ado area of the state has sparked reactions from Nigerians on Twitter.
During a visit to the scene of the incident, the governor announced the establishment of a N2 billion relief fund for the victims, with the state government already donating N250 million. He urged other well-meaning Nigerians to contribute to the provided accounts.
While some Nigerians commend the governor for seeking donations for the victims, others criticized the move, citing it as another means for the government to exploit the residents.
Here are some of their tweets:
