Federal Fire Protection Equipment Market Analysis in Nigeria

Abstract

In Nigeria, markets are very important to people in one way or the other and their importance cannot be over emphasised. They serve as an avenue for people to earn livings. Man being a social primate needs companionship for entertainment, interaction and other activities; to this end, it was noted that market places serve as an avenue for the interaction of people (Ngugi, 2015; Kamarudin et al., 2015; Raipat, 2016). It is because of these social factors that play areas and eatery joints are curved out in any given market especially if they were not initially provided in any given market. Considering the significances of markets in the societies, it therefore became important to evaluate active fire protection measures in markets, especially in Nigeria where they are always burning. Among the recommended guidelines are: the adequacy and functionality of fire protection devices should be ensured by the government of Nigeria and the management authorities of markets in Nigeria; training for the sales people should be enforced by the management authorities of markets in Nigeria, in order to ensure that the sales people know how to operate firefighting equipment.
