“We are here to physically see and also talk directly to the people, victims, and families and make an assessment for the Federal Government. It is a tragedy and misfortune. But it has happened. What matters is: how we move forward, what we going to learn from here, and what exactly we need to do,” Ribadu said.

He applauded Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani for his maturity and leadership in handling the regrettable event, especially in getting supplies and other logistics to the victims.
