“While praying that Almighty Allah grant repose of their souls, I commiserate with their families and relations. I urge them to take heart and accept the occurrence as the will of Allah.

“I also sympathise with those injured and wish them speedy recovery. I enjoin the government to continue ensuring that the injured are properly catered for.

“Rescue efforts should be intensified until all those trapped in the collapsed building are rescued.

“May I also use this medium to console the chairman and management of the market, and indeed the traders over the accident and untold loss suffered.

“While urging the government to immediately investigate the circumstances that led to the building collapse to prevent a recurrence of such in future, I hope and pray that this sad incident does not occur again,” Tinubu stated.
