Faruk, who was represented by the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Dr Nasir Sani-Gwarzo, met the survivors at the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, Kano, where they were being treated.

“We will support the victims in managing their care, as  care of burns requires a lot of dedication, time and is also expensive.
