Federal Government on Monday commiserated with Sokoto State Government and traders over fire incident that recently destroyed about 9,600 shops at Shehu Shagari Modern Market popularly called New Market in Sokoto.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the incident occurred on Jan. 19, with an interim report indicating that it was caused by a power surge from a nearby electric transformer.

The Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, who led the FG delegation to the state said the president was deeply concerned about the devastating effects of the inferno.

Gambari said the president sent the delegation to commiserate with the victims and state government over the tragic incident, which he described as a huge loss to the nation at large.

He said the visit was also to show solidarity with the state government and assured that FG would assist in rebuilding the market.
