Following the collapse of a three-storey building at the “GSM” market along Beirut road in the Kano metropolis, Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje has ordered an intensive rescue operation to rescue those trapped under the rubble.
In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, on Tuesday in Kano, Garba said that the governor has suspended the swearing-in ceremony of commissioners earlier scheduled for Wednesday in honour of victims of the collapsed building.
“While lamenting the unfortunate incident, the governor assured that investigation is ongoing to unravel the cause of the collapsed structure which was under construction,” he quoted Ganduje as saying.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) had earlier confirmed that one person died and seven others were injured in the building collapse.
