Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Government has sympathised with the management of the Next Cash & Carry, Abuja, over Sunday\u2019s fire incident.<\/p>\n

Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, who visited the site of the inferno, also pledged readiness to offer possible assistance towards its resuscitation.<\/p>\n

She said the incident was very unfortunate and a loss not just to the management of the company, but to the government and Nigeria at large.<\/p>\n

\u201cImmediately the fire started, we deployed officials of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) together with other sister agencies to come and assist in the rescue operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you can see, the extent of damage cannot be quantified. The government offers its deepest sympathy to the management and team of Next Cash and Carry and we will also come in as a government to see how we can support you.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hereby call for caution to avoid more fire outbreaks. This is because, incidence of fire outbreaks are usually high during the harmattan season,\u201d Farouq said.<\/p>\n

Farouq thanked Nigerians for their support in trying to salvage some items.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is also critically important that an establishment like this or any other commercial or public building should put in place necessary arrangements to prevent disasters like this and also update their fire prevention drills,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Responding, the General Manager of the business, Mr Neil Pape sought government\u2019s support as they begin rebuilding the business premise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe losses are under investigation and it is huge. As soon as we have the total amount lost and we get the records of all the stock in our business, we will give you a feedback in a press release,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that all manner of high profile persons have visited to assist and see what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe will need the support of the government as we streamline plans to open a new store,\u201d Pape told NAN.<\/p>\n
