Tinubu, in a statement signed by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday, commiserated with the state government and owners of the school and prayed for the quick recovery of those receiving medical attention.
The President enjoined all public and private schools to prioritise children’s safety and security at all times and directed regulatory authorities in the education sector to ensure compliance with safety standards.
He prayed that God Almighty would grant eternal rest to the souls of the departed and comfort to their loved ones.
No fewer than 17 children lost their lives during the fire outbreak at an Islamiya school.
A resident of the area, Abdulrasaq Bello Kaura, said the fire which started on Tuesday night also injured 16 other students of the school.
