In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President described the incident as tragic and extended his sympathies to those affected.
The fire reportedly began on Saturday evening and continued into Sunday morning, destroying a large section of the popular food market and causing heavy losses to traders.
