BUA Cement states that the truck involved in the Anambra accident is not ours...

BUA Cement clarifies that the truck involved in the fatal accident in Anambra on July 9 is not one of their vehicles, despite viral claims and footage. The company offers condolences to the families of the victims and emphasizes its commitment to safety and responsible transportation practices.

According to BUA Cement Plc, the vehicle that was involved in the accident in Anambra is not one of theirs.

The cement manufacturer responded to claims and footage that went viral on Wednesday, July 10, claiming that a BUA Cement truck was involved in the event.

Five individuals are said to have died as a result of the tragedy, which happened on Tuesday, July 9, at the Green Energy Oil and Gas filling station in Eke Awgbu, Anambra state.

BUA Cement stated that the truck involved in the tragedy is not associated with their company, even as they offered their condolences to the families of the victims.

As per BUA Cement, “We have received numerous online reports, including those published in the Tribune newspapers, as well as a circulating video, linking a purported BUA Cement truck to the unfortunate accident on Agulu-Agwubu Road in the Orumba north local government area of Anambra state.

“While we sincerely commiserate with the families who have lost their loved ones in this accident, we wish to set the record straight: the truck in question does not belong to BUA.

“The truck involved in the accident in Anambra State on Tuesday July 9, is in any way a BUA Cement truck.”

In no way is the truck that was involved in the accident in Anambra State on Tuesday, July 9, a BUA Cement truck.

As is typical for manufacturing enterprises that run truck services, BUA Cement vehicles are easily identifiable thanks to their prominent branding and truck numbers.

BUA Cement Plc neither owns nor operates the lorry that was referenced in the Tribune report.

The corporation made it clear that the majority of its cement products are sold ex-factory, meaning that clients are in charge of delivering the cement from the factories to the locations they have designated.

The company stated also stated “in instances where our customers request a door-to-door service, we engage our transport and logistics arm (BUA Transport) to ensure delivery on our behalf.”

Human lives are highly valued by this transport company, which operates under the strictest safety regulations.

As a conscientious manufacturer, BUA Cement Plc works with expert logistic organizations, such as the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), to provide its truck drivers with ongoing training and retraining.

This protects other road users' safety and guarantees safe driving on our roads regardless of the terrain.

However, please call us at 0803 200 5193 with the truck plate number if you witness any BUA Cement truck operating in a way that puts other drivers in danger.

The business requested that the “false report” connecting its truck to the collision be removed from all platforms.

BUA Cement expressed its condolences for the families impacted by the tragedy once more and prayed for their comfort as well as the serenity of the departed.
