Tinubu consoles Kano market traders, orders investigation into fire outbreak
President Bola Tinubu has commiserated with traders and the people of Kano State over a fire that broke out at Singa Market on Saturday.
This is contained in a statement by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga on Sunday in Abuja.
The fire, which started on Saturday evening, raged into Sunday morning, causing extensive damage to the food market.
Mr Tinubu, who had earlier contacted Governor Abba Yusuf to obtain a situation report, described the incident as tragic.
The president expressed concern that the latest incident occurred less than two weeks after the one that destroyed dozens of shops and property at the same market.
He directed a comprehensive investigation into the causes of the repeated market fires, which often left traders in despair.
