In a move to enhance safety and mitigate fire hazards in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, through the leadership of the FCT Minister, is set to launch the Fire Emergency Monitoring Gateway.
This is due to incessant cases of fire incidents in Abuja particularly in open markets, which have devastated properties and livelihoods.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Chief Operating Officer of PrimeAlert Secure Ltd, Mr George Tiga, in Abuja on Sunday.
Tiga reiterated the firm’s commitment to partnering with other states to deploy the Fire Emergency Monitoring Gateway to curb the devastating impact of fire incidents and enhance public safety.
- Dismissed Taraba emirate’s accountant arrested over murder of emir’s wives, children
- Mob set 2 bandits’ corpses ablaze in Kaduna
The statement added that the groundbreaking technology will connect all houses, structures and buildings in the FCT to a centralized fire emergency monitoring dashboard, allowing for real-time smoke detection and rapid response in the event of a fire outbreak.
Tiga said the FCT will be the first sub-national in Nigeria to implement such an advanced fire detection system, adding that their aim is to “expand the deployment of our Fire Emergency Monitoring Gateway to all 36 states in Nigeria.”
