Tinubu asks schools to prioritize safety of children

President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday enjoined all public and private schools to prioritise children’s safety and security at all times, just as he directed regulatory authorities in the education sector to ensure compliance with safety standards.

Tinubu’s appeal was contained in his condolences to parents, guardians, and families who lost loved ones in a fire outbreak that stretched into an Islamic school in Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State, on Tuesday night.

The President commiserated with the state government and owners of the school and prayed for the quick recovery of those receiving medical attention also sought eternal rest to the souls of the departed and comfort to their loved ones.
