I have just received the heartbreaking news of the fire that gutted the Great Nigeria Insurance House in Balogun Market, Lagos Island. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy. To the families and loved ones of those who have lost their lives, I extend my deepest condolences.

I commend Governor Babajide Sanwo‑Olu and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency for their efforts so far in coordinating rescue operations.

However, we must not stop here. I plead with the government and all relevant agencies to intensify efforts to rescue those still trapped under the rubble, especially the Omatu brothers, whose distressing phone calls and their family’s public pleas have captured the hearts of Nigerians everywhere.

This tragedy serves as a poignant reminder that our emergency services need improvement. Let this moment serve as a call to action for better preparedness, stronger regulations, and a renewed commitment to protecting our citizens.

I urge all Nigerians to pray for the rescue of the trapped and support the families affected.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The Nigerian Govt is doing nothing.

The Government has failed to rescue them in 6 days. LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW!

Lagos State Government says it lacks equipment for safe rescue at the collapsed Great Nigeria House.

They said only Julius Berger can handle it but they have refused to involve Julius Berger and they won’t allow the families to engage them.

As usual, Police are using tear gas to keep people away.

Despite ongoing meetings with victims' families, no progress has been made, and many remain trapped under the rubble up till now.

These 3 brothers were trapped in the building that got burnt in Balogun the Great Nigeria House few days ago. After 24 hours under the rubble, KC was still alive as he called for emergency help under the rubble. Guess what? He was never rescued. Excuse upon excuse by men of fire service and the Lagos State Government.

I spoke with their sister this morning and their bodies are still trapped.

APC Government will start a project, embezzle the money meant for the project and abandon it. Arrange people to vandalize the project and then accuse the innocent and peaceful protesters of destroying the project. A government of lies and deceits.

@OkoroaforSunnyC @GlobalHealthBMJ @KasondeMwinga @WHOAFRO @jamesavoka Quite an interesting read. A multisector engagement of health workforce stakeholders in the development of public health emergency plans, is definitely a way to in Africa.
