In a groundbreaking effort to address the recurring fire outbreaks in Nigeria, the Nigerian Humanitarian Action (NIHA) has partnered with the Federal Fire Service for the Nigeria Fire Prevention Week and Expo, along with its International Flagship Programme in the United States.

With Nigeria’s fire service receiving a significant allocation of 51.74 billion naira in 2023, concerns have arisen regarding the service’s effectiveness in recent fire incidents. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the House of Representatives has called upon the Federal Government to provide adequate funding and establish fire stations in all 774 Local Government Areas.

The collaboration between NIHA and the Federal Fire Service aims to strengthen fire safety measures, enhance response strategies, and promote international best practices. This partnership marks a pivotal moment in mitigating fire incidents in Nigeria and ensuring the safety of both citizens and properties.

Dr. Kletsaint Akor, Chairman of NIHA and proponents council of Nigeria Fire Prevention week, emphasizes that this joint effort between NIHA and the Federal Fire Service will significantly bolster fire safety management across the country, thereby reducing property damage and loss of life.

“This partnership serves as a testament to the unwavering commitment of both organizations to safeguarding the well-being of Nigerians,” states Dr. Akor.

Despite the substantial allocations to the Federal Fire Service, the situation has shown little improvement in 2023, as evidenced by the Lagos State Fire Service reporting 1,642 fire incidents and 42 fatalities between January and June.

The crisis has persisted into 2024, with several devastating fire incidents occurring nationwide. Notably, on January 17, a massive fire engulfed the timber section of the Panteka market in Kaduna, resulting in significant losses. Other incidents include a building fire at Tudun Wada Quarters in Kano, which claimed seven lives due to smoke inhalation, and a fire at the Horo Eastern by-pass depot, resulting in one fatality.

The alarming frequency of fire incidents in Nigeria, particularly during the dry season from November to March, has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the Federal Fire Service, despite its substantial allocation of 51.74 billion naira in 2023. To address these concerns, the House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government to ensure adequate funding for the Federal Fire Service and establish fire stations in all 774 Local Government Areas.

In addition to mitigating fire incidents, the partnership between NIHA and the Federal Fire Service will reinforce fire safety measures, improve response strategies, and promote international best practices. This collaboration is essential in safeguarding Nigeria’s citizens and properties from fire emergencies.
