President Bola Tinubu has sent condolences to parents, guardians and families who lost loved ones in a fire outbreak that stretched into an Islamic school in Kaura Namoda, Zamfara, on Tuesday night.
The president commiserated with the state government and owners of the school, and prayed for the quick recovery of those receiving medical attention, Mr Bayo Onanuga, his spokesman said in a statement on Wednesday.
The president enjoined all public and private schools to prioritise children’s safety and security at all times and directed regulatory authorities in the education sector to ensure compliance with safety standards.
He prayed to God to grant eternal rest to the souls of the departed, and comfort to their loved ones.
