customers at tipper garage market are noticing the price of oysters are creeping up. how much is it? $60. oh, that s too expensive. there were a number of factors playing a part in the scarcity of oysters pollution, more women entering the business, increasing coastal populations which are leading to more urbanisation and mangroves being cut down and converted to agriculture and timber harvesting. the fisheries industry contribute i2% of the gambia s gdp and is the third largest sector in the country after agriculture and tourism, and the livelihoods of well over 300,000 gambians depend on it and its related activities. as cop27 approaches, these women are looking to leaders around the world for solutions to help avert a climate change disaster.

This week, a fire outbreak was reported at Iddo terminal in Ebute Metta area of Lagos State. According to the Director-General of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, the fire was caused by a power surge when electricity was restored at shanties behind the terminus. He indicated that while there appeared to be no loss of life during the incident, the agency was working with the Lagos and federal fire services to control the fire and curtail the extensive spread of the flames. Earlier this month, a tragic fire razed the Tipper Garage Market on 3rd Avenue in Gwarimpa area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Six traders trapped in their stalls, having passed the night there, lost their lives in the incident. According to eyewitnesses, a faulty electrical spark in one of the lock-up shops caused the inferno.

ONE after another, major fires are exploding across Nigeria. Therefore, there is an urgent need to direct exceptional efforts towards reducing the quantum of deaths and losses arising from perennial fire outbreaks across the country.
From residential to public buildings, fire continues its destructive nature across states unabated. This trend should not be allowed to go on, especially considering the fact that many of the incidents are avoidable. The majority, as experts have noted, can be checked by ensuring quality electric wiring and fusing buildings with necessary fire safety gadgets with training of preventive measures.

A fire on Thursday morning razed the Tipper Garage Market on 3rd Avenue, Gwarimpa, Abuja, and killed one person while traders lost all their wares worth millions of naira.
Although there were reports of six deaths, the FCT Minister of State, Hajia Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, who was in the market later on Thursday to commiserate with the traders, confirmed only one death.
The minister sympathised with the victims of the fire and assured that the FCT Administration (FCTA), in collaboration with the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) would ensure that victims were assisted, just as she advised the traders to take precautionary measures as most of the goods sold in the market were highly inflammable.
