    FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello yesterday visited the Kado Fish market  and the Yarkasuwa makeshift market in Gwarimpa which were both gutted by fire.

    The fire incident  had affected  portions of both markets during the Christmas holidays.

     Chairman of the Kado Fish Market Traders Association Alhaji Yusuf Muhammed said that the fire occurred when there were very few people around as the Christian traders  were celebrating Christmas while the Muslims were observing the Jumaat prayers.

    Also   at  the Yarkauwa makeshift market, Malam Bello, head of the traders  said the discussions will be held with the Federal Housing Authority over the incident.

    The FCT Minister who visited the two markets to commiserate with the traders on their loss was accompanied by the Executive Secretary of the FCDA, Engr Umar Gambo Jibrin and other senior members of staff of the FCTA.
