The Kano State Government has inaugurated a 23-member high-level committee to oversee the disbursement of N8 billion in financial assistance and relief materials to traders affected by the devastating fire outbreak at Singer Market.
The fire, which affected several sections of the market in two separate incidents, caused extensive economic damage, destroying goods and wiping out business capital estimated to be worth billions of naira, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
Singer Market is one of the major commercial hubs in Kano, and the incident disrupted trading activities for thousands of small and medium-scale operators who rely on the market for their livelihoods.
