Omobola Johnson, a former minister of communication
technology, has commended personnel of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service
for putting out the fire that gutted a plastic factory on Saturday morning.
The fire broke out inside Mega Plastic, a petrochemical
plant in the Ilupeju area of Lagos.
Adeseye Magaret, director of the state rescue service, said
the fire was swiftly contained.
She added that there were no injuries or fatalities from the
incident.
Reacting to the development, Johnson said: “Today, there was
a raging fire in a plastics factory next to my brother in law’s printing
press”.
“I want to commend the LASG fire service…they worked
relentlessly to put the fire out….firemen were exhausted but kept on
working….tax payers money at work,” she wrote on her X page.
There has been a spate of fire incidents in Lagos in recent
times.
On September 6, fire gutted a section of the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport.
On September 21, five shops and the Hotel Ibis Royale along
airport road, Ajao estate in Isolo, were razed by fire.
Four days ago, the service rescued two people from another
fire incident that occurred at Victory Bay, Ikota housing estate in the Ajah
area of the state.
The service had reported that the two male adults rescued
sustained varying degrees of burns.
