Yola Market Fire Incident Is Saddening And A Huge Loss – Atiku

Nigria’s former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday expressed sadness over the fire incident that guttedย the Yola Central Market, in Yola, Adamawa State.

The fire outbreak reportedlyย started about 2.30am on Monday and destroyedย property worth billions of naira.

In a statement released in Abuja through his media office, theย Turakin Adamawa said the fire incident was one too many.

Heย therefore, called on authorities in charge of public places like markets, schools and factories to be extra vigilant at this period of the year.

The All Progressives Congress chieftain said the fire incidents during this period of harmattan could be quite devastating in its impact because of โ€œthe prevalence of the dry trade windโ€ blowing from the North east part of the country.

Atiku stated further that valuable property running into millions of naira and at times human lives, had been lost to devastating fires in many parts of the country of recent.

He also called on the management of the Yola Central Market, other markets and places of business susceptible to fire outbreaks to work out ways and means of reducing fire outbreaks to the barest minimum.

Mr. Atiku also challenged the various fire services in the country to improve on the readiness and preparedness to deal with fire outbreaks in order to reduce losses.
