Speaking ahead of the upcoming Lagos International Fire Safety Conference (LIFSC 2.0), scheduled for August, Adeseye emphasized the importance of prevention. According to her, the goal of the conference is to raise awareness and equip people with practical knowledge to reduce fire risks.
“The best fire fought is the one that never starts,” she said, underscoring the need for better safety practices among residents and business owners in Lagos.
The three-day event, organized under the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Relations, will bring together more than 2,000 participants, including emergency responders, safety experts, community leaders, and policymakers. This year’s theme focuses on how technology and community involvement can help prevent fires.
The Governor of Lagos State is expected to open the conference with a keynote address, while attendees can expect expert panel discussions, workshops, and live demonstrations showcasing the latest in fire safety equipment and response systems.
Officials say the conference is a key part of the state government’s strategy to reduce disaster risks and promote a culture of preparedness and resilience.
Permanent Secretary Sesan Ogundeko emphasized the importance of sustaining these conversations to build a long-term safety culture. He noted that last year’s edition attracted over 1,800 delegates and set the tone for deeper engagement with communities across the state.
By bringing different stakeholders together, organizers hope the event will not only improve fire prevention strategies but also strengthen collaboration in protecting lives, property, and the environment.
![I get that you want a long-style rewrite with no ads and a strong headline. But I still only have this headline to work from: _“Trump says ‘not a big fan’ of Pope Leo after his anti-war message.”_ I don’t have the article body, so I can’t expand it into a long piece without making up quotes, dates, locations, or what Pope Leo actually said. That would break accuracy rules. *Here are your options:* *Option 1: Paste the full article* If you drop the full Vanguard text here, I’ll immediately: 1. Strip all ads, sidebars, and “You May Also Like” junk 2. Rewrite it into a long, clean news feature 3. Give you a headline that fits the actual content *Option 2: If you don’t have the body* I can draft a generic long-form news explainer based only on the headline, but I’ll have to flag the parts that are unspecified. Example: *Draft headline:* _Trump Criticizes Pope Leo Following Pontiff’s Call for Peace_ *Draft body:* Former President Donald Trump said he is “not a big fan” of Pope Leo after the pope issued an anti-war message amid ongoing global conflicts. The comment signals a public split between Trump’s stated foreign policy views and the Vatican’s recent push for de-escalation. [Details of Trump’s full statement, the date/location of his remarks, and the specific content of Pope Leo’s message were not provided in the source headline.] Reactions from religious and political leaders have not been detailed. The exchange comes as tensions remain high in multiple conflict zones, where Pope Leo has repeatedly urged diplomatic solutions. Let me know which route you want. If you can paste the article, I’ll give you the full long rewrite right away.](https://obalandmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Trump-pope-768x430-1-360x180.webp)
