As part of its ongoing commitment to promoting public awareness and strengthening fire prevention consciousness across all sectors, the Federal Fire Service (FFS) has announced a strategic partnership with Nigeria’s entertainment industry, beginning with “The 2Baba Experience” concert. The event is scheduled for Friday, November 14, 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.

This collaboration follows a courtesy visit by Nigeria’s music icon and global ambassador, Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, to the Controller General of the Federal Fire Service, Olumode Adeyemi Samuel, FCNA, ACTI, at the Service Headquarters in Abuja.

During the visit, 2Baba formally sought the Service’s partnership and technical support to ensure safety and emergency preparedness at the concert venue, as he celebrates 25 years of musical excellence.

Welcoming the artist and his team, the Controller General commended 2Baba for his enduring contributions to youth development, peacebuilding, and national unity through music. He further praised the artist’s initiative to integrate public safety and fire awareness into a major entertainment event of this magnitude.

As part of the partnership, the Federal Fire Service will deploy operational teams and fire appliances to the concert venue to ensure full compliance with safety standards. The Service will also conduct pre-event inspections, fire risk assessments, and maintain on-site emergency readiness throughout the event.

In his remarks, 2Baba expressed deep appreciation to the Controller General and the entire Fire Service for their professionalism and willingness to collaborate with the creative industry. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing safety wherever people gather to celebrate.

“Music brings people together, but safety keeps the joy alive,” 2Baba said. “Working with the Federal Fire Service gives me confidence that this celebration will be memorable, safe, and inspiring for everyone.”
