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.

A resident of the area, Abdulrasaq Bello Kaura, said the fire which started on Tuesday night also injured 16 other students of the school.
