Tinubu donates N50mn to Katsina market fire victims

Former governor of Lagos State and National leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has donated N50 million to traders affected by a recent fire incident that gutted Katsina Central Market. 

The donation according to him was aimed at helping the traders pick up pieces of their lives and return back to the market and rebuild their enterprises.

Asiwaju Tinubu announced the donation when he paid sympathy visits to traders and other victims of the market in the company of the State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari.

While commiserating with victims of the fire incident, the APC leader maintained that despite the tragedy, the traders must never lose sight of the bigger pictures.

Tinubu further asked residents of the state and Nigerians, in general, to promote peace and good neighbourliness rather than bask in divisive rhetoric.

The Katsina Central Market was gutted by fire on Monday where over 100 shops were razed with goods worth millions of naira destroyed.
