Dear major General Taoreed Lagbaja GOC


It is hope that the workshop you organised this week  on fire fighting and fire prevention  would go a long 

Way in stemming the tide of incredible  losses to fire

Below  is my own contribution  from the point of view of working in security industry  in London.

I  hope the workshop you organise would be holistic  and comprehensive.

I trillion naira losses  is a lot of money for one year alone
God bless the  Nigerian soldier 

Nigeria recorded 2,056 fire incidents, N1trn losses in 2022 – GOC

Fire safety! 
there are different types of fire extinguishers for different types of fire.
alll public places and commercial places need to have the appropriate kind of fire extinguisher after a risk analysis might have been carried out
INCLUDING FIRST AID BOX AND FIBRILLATOR,smoke detector,fire door,fire assembly point 

security men need to be trained to use fire extinguishers by qualified persons. over to the insurance men! 0.5 per cent insurance penetration in nigeria!.tthis may be why there are fires al over teh place!! Nigeria fire fire every where. today a petrol tanker exploded into fire! fire safety act of 1963 still in use in nigeria. this si something for the 22 man transition council of President Muhammadu Buhari. HANDING OVER NOTES.
