Gov. Sanwo-Olu compensates victims of Dosunmu market fire
Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, on Friday, compensated victims of the Dosunmu market fire outbreak.
Mr Sanwo-Olu said the presentation of cheques to those affected was being done after proper enumeration in fulfilment of the pledge made by the government.
“We know that the impact of the fire incidence is unquantifiable, but as a responsive government that we pride ourselves on being, we will bring succour to those that are affected.
“We pray we don’t experience such huge losses again. As citizens, we have to play our roles; we need to put a stop to the careless attitude that keeps endangering lives,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said.
On April 9, a fire outbreak destroyed 14 buildings at Dosunmu market (originally known as Docemo market), off Idumagbo Avenue, in Lagos Island.
According to the enumeration process report, those affected in the fire incident got N750,000, N1.5 million and N2.5 million compensation, respectively.
