COMING to the aid of fire victims at the Ketu Plank Market, the Lagos State Government has promised to rebuild the market and assist in the replacement of their damaged equipment destroyed by fire last Thursday.

Over 500 shops and a mosque were razed in Demurin Plank Market in Ketu, destroying property worth several millions of Naira.

Speaking yesterday during an on-the-spot assessment of the market, Lagos State governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), assured the traders that the state government would assist the traders by replacing some of the lost items, adding that the market would be resuscitated in a more organized way, where traders would insure their businesses.

Fashola reiterated the need for the traders to insure their businesses, stressing that when such unfortunate incident occurs, the insurance company would bear the burden instead of the government and the traders.

He said: “ We will look at the destroyed machines and see how we can buy some of the equipment as part of our means of assisting you. But let me advise you, you need to insure your businesses because your progress matters a lot to us. Several times I have advised you on the need to insure your businesses.  If you had insured your businesses, all your machines and the planks destroyed by the fire would have been taken care of by the insurance company.”

He assured that if they were ready to insure their business the government would be ready to engage them with the insurance companies in line with global practices.
