The Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, was seen in a viral video attempting to put out fire in GSS Kawo on Friday, February 7th, 2020, before fire brigades arrived.

Her personal efforts to help extinguish the fire was commendable. After-all, she could have sat still and be giving instructions or even feel unconcerned.

GGSS Kawo is a girls boarding school in Kawo, Kaduna State.

A Twitter user who goes by the name, Jikan Tanko “@abu_jikantanko” shared a video of the fire outbreak and the deputy governor’s personal efforts to quench it. According to him, “the fire burned down two hostels”.
