Kapital FM 92.9 The Station that Rocks!
The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has commissioned a new fire station donated by Senator Seriake Dickson to the Federal Fire Service in Bayelsa State.
The fire station is based in Toru Orua, a community located in Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
Speaking at the commissioning, Tunji-Ojo, who praised the senator’s gesture, noted that the new facility would enhance the agency’s ability to respond to fire incidents in the state.
“It takes an exposed mind, a visionary personality to understand what is happening here today. With this, you are making this place a hub for the industrial revolution that will happen in the Niger-Delta.
“This is the first time i am seeing this exemplary initiative from a senator, and it shows that you understand that fire service is not just about fire as they are the first responders in any emergency situations. On behalf of the father of the nation, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu , I thank you for being a pacesetter and hoisting the flag of greatness and development in the Niger-Delta region.”
The Controller General of the Federal Fire Service, Abdulganiyu Jaji, expressed his gratitude to Senator Seriake Dickson for donating a new fire station to the agency.
“I thank His Excellency, the former governor of Bayelsa State, and current Senator representing Bayelsa West for this edifice”.
“I appreciate him for considering the building of a Fire Service station as his constituency project. With his collaboration, I am delighted that we now have this facility ready for operation.”
Speaking on the role of the fire service in response and rescue operations, Senator Seriake Dickson called on lawmakers at both state and national levels to prioritize fire safety and consider building fire response capacities from their constituency allocations.
“While we all agree that it is very important that we support security outfits, we don’t sometimes remember the critical role that the fire service that should be at the forefront of response and rescue operations needs to be. I want to call on legislators to think of building fire response capacities from their constituency allocations. I believe this will assist the service to deliver better on their mandate.”
Senator Dickson assured the Minister of his support in the Senate for the reforms being implemented under the ministry.
The newly commissioned fire station is equipped with modern firefighting equipment and vehicles and is expected to improve the overall firefighting capacity in the state.
