Alhaji Umar Ibrahim, the secretary to the state government, who represented Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, inaugurated the committee on Tuesday.

According to him, the committee is tasked with probing both the immediate and remote causes of the incident, assessing the extent of the damage, and proposing practical measures to prevent future occurrences.

During the event, Ibrahim emphasised the importance of transparency and coordination in managing relief and support efforts.

“We must not allow this unfortunate incident to be politicised. All donations and assistance must be channelled through the committee or the designated government account to ensure accountability and equitable distribution,” he said.

Alhaji Abdulkadir Shehu AGS-HOC was appointed as the secretary of the committee.

Ibrahim outlined the committee’s responsibilities, which include determining the causes of the fire, evaluating the level of destruction and any loss of life, examining the emergency response during the incident, and reviewing existing fire safety measures at the market.

“They will also verify the identities and profiles of all those affected, ensure that the current market layout complies with urban safety regulations, and suggest a sustainable administrative framework for managing the market,” he said.

He added that the committee is expected to submit a comprehensive report within one week, including clear recommendations to guide the government in addressing the incident and preventing a recurrence.
