President Bola Tinubu has commiserated with traders and people of Kano State over the devastating fire outbreak at Kano’s Singer Market over the weekend.
The fire, which started on Saturday evening, raged into Sunday morning, causing significant damage to the food market.
It was gathered that the fire is coming just few weeks after a similar incident had left traders stranded, following the losses they encountered.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement on Sunday, said the President had earlier reached out to Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to obtain a situation report on the fire.
Tinubu described the incident as ” tragic”, and directed that a thorough investigation be carried out to unravel the cause
The President was particularly alarmed that the latest incident came less than two weeks after another fire destroyed dozens of shops and property at the same market.
He therefore , directed a comprehensive investigation into the causes of the market fires, which often leave traders in despair.
