The Governor while donating fifty million naira to the direct victims of the inferno to cushion the effect said a Commission of Inquiry would be constituted to unravel the frequent causes of the unfortunate incidence and also suggest ways of reconstructing and safeguarding the market from future fire outbreaks.
He commended security agencies and men of the fire service for their prompt responses which curtailed the extent of damage and looting, adding that the board of trustees should meet with relevant government agencies to resolve issues regarding the suspension of union activities with a view to lifting the suspension.
Ter Makurdi, Chief Sule Abenga said the disaster was unfortunate and had touched on the economy of the whole state, appealing that government should ensure free access to all parts of the market for prompt response to such occurrences by fire service workers.
He also appealed that the federal government should also assist in order to mitigate the effect and also rebuild the market.
