 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

Burutai emphasized the importance of preventative measures and commended the author of ‘NADAMA’ for her effort sensitizing people on cervical cancer and other health issues. 


He urged Nigerians, especially parents, women, and youths, to read the book, which is written in a dramatic and intriguing style that keeps the reader in suspense.


In his remarks Chief Medical Director of the Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Professor Ahmed Ahidjo, noted that the cost of managing cancer is very expensive, and that prevention is the best approach. 


He praised the book for providing education and enlightenment, and hoped that it would help reduce the prevalence of cervical cancer in northern Nigeria.


Also speaking, the Chairman of National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Alhaji Zikrullah Kunle Hassan, who also  was also the chief host, praised the book, saying it captures how cervical cancer can be eliminated as a public health problem.


The Author of the 'NADAMA' Hajiya Fatima Usara expressed her gratitude to those who attended the event, as she acknowledged the late Dr. Mardiya Zayyan for encouraging her to write the book and attributed it to her as a charity for imparting knowledge on her.


She expressed her hope that the book will help protect women from the painful death of cervical cancer and encouraged other women to join her in the fight against cervical cancer.
