Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo confronted an officer of the Federal Fire Service after discovering that the water tank on one of their trucks was only half-filled, warning that such negligence was unacceptable, especially during the harmattan season when fire outbreaks are more frequent and often devastating.
Visibly displeased, the minister told the officer that firefighters must remain fully prepared at all times and position themselves near high-risk, high-traffic areas where emergencies could arise without warning. He rejected what he described as excuses for the team’s lack of readiness.
According to him, firefighters, like every public official, including himself, are funded by taxpayers and are not paid to be docile. He stressed that their duty is to be alert, equipped, and strategically positioned to respond immediately whenever lives and property are at risk.
