President Bola Tinubu has expressed deep sympathy with traders and residents of Kano State following the devastating fire outbreak at Singer Market over the weekend.
The fire, which began on Saturday evening and continued into Sunday morning, caused extensive damage to the popular food market, destroying goods and property worth millions of naira.
According to the State House, the President had earlier contacted Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to obtain a detailed situation report on the incident. He described the recurrence of fires at the market as deeply troubling, particularly as the latest outbreak occurred less than two weeks after a previous blaze destroyed dozens of shops at the same location.
President Tinubu directed that a comprehensive investigation be conducted to determine the causes of the repeated market fires. He stressed the need for preventive measures to safeguard lives and livelihoods, noting that such incidents often leave traders in severe financial distress.
The President assured affected traders of the Federal Government’s concern and reiterated his administration’s commitment to strengthening safety standards and supporting efforts to prevent future disasters in markets across the country.
