The cost and efforts of building empire is enormous and tasking, that is why the present administration under Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola is doing everything possible to curtail any circumstance
that can lead to disaster in the State hence the setting up of the Committee on Fire Safety Matters and others for the purpose of enlightening the populace in the State.
The Commissioner for Special Duties who is also the Chairman, Special Committee on Fire Safety Matters, Hon. Oguntola Mudashiru Toogun made this observation during the sensitisation and inspection tours to private hospitals in Iwo.

in place to ensure safety of lives and property of all the citizenry in the State. He said that is why the government is concerned with good road network, building of State of the art schools with modern facilities, dredging of water ways, equipping security men with
sophisticated weapons and a host of others.

electrical appliances in their hospitals and take proactive steps against anything that may lead to inferno.
