President Bola Tinubu has extended condolences to families and organisations affected by the fire at Afriland Towers on Broad Street, Lagos Island, which claimed lives and injured several others.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu commiserated with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), United Capital, and United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, whose staff members were among the victims. He also sympathised with Afriland Properties Limited, owners of the building.
Tinubu assured bereaved families of his prayers and wished the injured a speedy recovery. He commended the swift response of emergency workers, including the Federal Fire Service, medical personnel, and first aiders, describing their intervention as a “deep sense of responsibility.”
The President called for increased training and vigilance to prevent future disasters and prayed for the repose of the souls of the departed and comfort for their families.
