In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje described the incident as a significant setback to the economic activities in Kano State and the country at large. He noted that the market plays a vital role in promoting commerce, innovation, and youth-led enterprise, and the destruction caused by the fire represents a major loss.
Ganduje called on both federal and state emergency agencies to urgently investigate the cause of the fire and provide both immediate relief and long-term support to those affected. He also appealed to individuals, corporate bodies, and philanthropic organisations to assist the victims in rebuilding their businesses.
He commended the swift intervention of the Kano State Fire Service, security agencies, and volunteers, whose prompt actions helped contain the blaze and prevent further damage.
Reaffirming his commitment to the wellbeing of Kano residents, Ganduje pledged to work with relevant stakeholders to ensure that those affected receive the necessary support for recovery and rehabilitation.
