Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has reassured the students of Ratu Kadavulevu School that the coalition government will work with relevant stakeholders to provide much-needed assistance to them.

In a Facebook post, Rabuka says he was briefed by the school Principal Ilaisa Waqalala on the incident and the temporary arrangement made for the students affected.

He says that he was also informed by Waqalala that the fire completely damaged the top floor of the dormitory with the bottom floor partly destroyed.

Rabuka says he is thankful that all the 145 students of Bure Sukuna are safe.

Meanwhile, the National Fire Authority is yet to determine the cause of the fire as investigations continue.
