Kano’s Bayero Mall Reopens After After Fire Incident

Following a fire incidence that disrupted its operations on June 19, 2024, the popular Ado Bayero Mall in Kano has announced that it has restored full operations in the mall with business outlets and shoppers going about their businesses without hinderance.

In a statement on behalf of the Mall, signed by Ike Okeke, the management of the Mall said the fire outbreak primarily affected the B wing of the Mall and this resulted in minimal damage which was not enough to affect the overall operations of the Mall.

“Currently, we are conducting a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire to prevent any future occurrence. We are also working closely with all tenants and relevant authorities to ensure the affected areas meet stringent safety standards,” the statement said.

The statement added that the Mall maintains a rigorous preventive disaster management protocol, including regular fire drills in collaboration with both the Federal and Kano State Fire Service Departments, to ensure effective management of such events should they arise.

“This facilitated a swift response from our teams in containing the incident.

“We remain dedicated to the safety of our patrons, staff and assets. We are committed to minimising any potential long-term impact and are strengthening measures to prevent a recurrence of this unfortunate incident,” the statement added.
