Kebbi State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to assist the Federal Fire Service in the state, to enable it to carry out its functions effectively.
The Secretary of the Kebbi State Government, Babale Umar, gave the assurance when he received the newly posted Commanding Officer of the Federal Fire Service to the Kebbi State Command, Mr Alankwu, in his office in Birnin kebbi.
Babale Umar requested the Federal Fire Service to forward its request for accommodation and other logistics, formally, through his office, which he pledged to table on the desk of the governor for further action.
He commended the Federal Fire Service for its quick response to the fire incidences, which rescued lives and property worth millions of Naira in the state.
The Secretary to the Kebbi State Government urged the federal fire agency to sustain its relationship with the state fire service, as they play the same role and serve the same people.
He further urged the federal fire agency to assist other security operations in the state, in their efforts to maintain peace and security in the state.
The new Commanding Officer, Mr Alankwu said, two fire service officers were actively responding to the fire outbreaks in the state.
Alankwu commended the Kebbi State Government for its unalloyed support to the command, which in turn boosts morale and enhances service delivery.
