Sympathizes with The Sun
The Kwara State Governor, Dr.
Bukola Saraki has expressed
sympathy with the management of
The Sun Publishing Limited,
Publishers of The Sun newspaper
over the inferno that devastated
its corporate headquarters in
Kirikiri, Lagos.
Dr. Bukola Saraki in his
sympathy message thanked God
that no life was lost in the
fire incident which lasted about
four hours.
The governor advised the
management of media
organizations in the country to
put in place modern
fire-fighting services to avert
unforeseen fire outbreaks,
stressing that as information
archives they should not allow
regular occurrence of a disaster
which would lead to immense loss
of vital document.
In the unfortunate incident
which destroyed properties worth
billions of naira, he applauded
the combined efforts of the
organization’s fire service and
the Lagos State Emergency Fire
Service operatives who quickly
came to curtail the incident.
The governor, however, prayed
God for the quick recovery for
all the casualties that were
involved in the inferno so that
the company could continue to
render its social responsibility
to the country.
