In a bold move to combat the raging fire outbreaks sweeping across Nigeria, the Nigerian Humanitarian Action (NIHA) has enlisted the expertise of none other than former Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Yusuf Buratai!
Buratai, a decorated war hero and seasoned leader, has been inaugurated as Chairman of the Fire Prevention Week and Expo, as well as NIHA’s International Flagship Programme in the United States.
Dr. Kletsaint Akor, Chairman of NIHA and proponents council of Nigeria Fire Prevention week, hailed Buratai’s appointment as a “game-changer” in the fight against fire outbreaks, citing his “impeccable pedigree, unwavering integrity, and selfless dedication to Nigeria”
This collaboration aims to enhance fire safety measures, improve response strategies, and promote international best practices. Buratai has accepted the appointment, pledging to mobilize support from friends and stakeholders to minimize fire incidents.
The partnership seeks to address the alarming rate of fire incidents in Nigeria, despite significant budgetary allocations. NIHA and the Federal Fire Service are committed to strengthening fire safety measures, improving response strategies, and promoting public awareness about safety regulations.
With Buratai at the helm, Nigeria can expect a fierce battle against the flames. Will his military might be enough to tame the inferno? Only time will tell.
