President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has added a rapid firefighting mini truck to his convoy, the first in the history of the Nigerian Presidency.

This was disclosed on Thursday by the Controller General of the Federal Fire Service (FFS), Abdulganiyu Jaji.

He made this known when the new Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Interior, Dr Oluwatoyin Akinlade paid a courtesy visit to the Service’s headquarters.

According to Jaji, the Service has also procured 15 rapid firefighting mini trucks to navigate crowded terrains which were not previously accessible to larger firefighting appliances.

Commenting on the achievements of the service, he said; “We recently completed and commissioned the first Fire House props in West Africa located inside the National Fire Academy Sheda.

“Procurement of 15 Ford Built Rapid Intervention Vehicles, already delivered to the Service awaiting commissioning and deployment.

“Approval of Mr President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR to include the Service Rapid Intervention Vehicle in his motorcade. This is the first in the history of Nigeria.

“Other firsts include celebration of the International Firefighter’s day

“Approval of a large expanse of land for the building of the Service National Headquarters in Sauka, Abuja, FCT.”

Jaji noted that the FFS is confronted with some challenges which include inadequate manpower, attack on fire fighters, housing needs for personnel, firefighting infrastructural gap and budgetary constraint, among others.

Precaution is way to safety

It is necessary

One firefighting truck for just one citizen bah
Do the vehicles in his convoy not have fire extinguishers?

Nice

Convoy is not just one person

In wealthier countries, the Head of State relies on the local fire service (and fire trucks) in the communities he visits.
What is described above is a bone-headed idea that should attract a lot of criticism.

Convoy is not just one person

And? What's that got to do with anything?

Would the firefighting truck be flown all over the country to keep up with the President's travel itinerary?

Help me make sense of your comment.

Fire fighter don't only fight fire. They are trained in general rescue. That is why they are attached.

Do you know what a straw man argument is?

Did I tell you I have an issue with safety?

He knows that he didn't win 25% in Abuja. And the rest 75% in Abuja can attack him anytime...

He truly knows residents of Abuja didn't vote for him.

So as a precaution, he who lives with his enemies must have a third eye at the back of his head
