Unfortunately, a tragic gas explosion at a fast-food outlet in Ajah occurred on July 19, 2023, causing the death of a 20-year-old restaurant staff and injuring 13 others. Police investigations are ongoing into the incident. The victim, Kingsley Promise from Akwa Ibom State, died while receiving treatment at Gbagada General Hospital [8].
In light of this incident, the LIFSC 2025 will focus on key areas such as leveraging technology and community engagement to prevent fires. The conference will also focus on fire prevention practices for homes, markets, and businesses [9].
