"We are going to pay 194 victims within three working days. His Excellency approved the sum of over N31million and depending on the extent of the damage incurred, each victim gets between N30,000 and N1million. For some that their houses were burnt, we will give each of them between N800,000 and N1million while the family of each of the deceased victims will receive the sum of N300,000."

Hon Bello urged the victims to make judicious use of the fund.

For his part, the immediate past commissioner for works Engr Rotimi Iliasu, called for the continuous support of the people of the area to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq led administration to enjoy more dividends of democracy.

The Secretary of the Kwara State Emergency Management Agency, Mrs Motunrayo Adanra, assured the victims that the compensation would go round and called for calmness to ensure a seamless exercise.

Responding on behalf of the victims, Hon John Okedare commended the Governor for his immediate visit to the scene of the incident, saying AbdulRazaq was the first political leader of the state to pay a condolence visit to Jebba over such incident.

We appreciate the magnanimity of the governor for his support to the victims of the recent fire disaster that occurred recently at Garika area of Jebba town. Initially, he gave us a donation to alleviate our sufferings. We are mostly grateful to him for being the first governor in the state to have visited the scene of any disaster in Jebba town," Okedare said.

"It shows that he is a God-fearing and people-oriented governor. On behalf of the victims who include me as a landlord, we are extremely grateful to him. May God continue to assist him."
