As a matter of fact, that is another area the government have to look into, maybe include swimming into school extra curriculum. like seriously how many Nigerians can survive in a boat misshape imagine 11 out of 15 people or 20 people as the case maybe dying in that body of water, if those people can swim they would have been able to manage till help can reach them or even swim to safety, and the emergency service who knows how long it took them to reach there. My sympathy to the dead and heart felt condolence to the families, relatives and friends.   Sad
