A fire incident was recorded at the
National Youth Service Corps in Abuja on Friday.
The commission said no life was lost in the
sudden fire outbreak as it was limited to the third floor of the six-storey
building edifice.
This is contained in a statement issued by
the Director of Press Relations, Eddy Megwa, on Friday.
He said that the fire was immediately put
out by the Federal Capital Territory and Federal Fire Service Departments when
the incident occured at about 07.30am.
Megwa also said that the affected floor is
occupied by Planning, Research and Statistics and the General Service Department
with the fire affecting only a particular room with electronic gadgets.
He said, “Fortunately enough, no life was
lost and all vital documents were promptly evacuated and safeguarded.
“The management of the scheme heartily
appreciates the Federal and FCT Fire Service Departments for their prompt
response which minimised the effect of the incident.
“Management also appreciates all security
agencies for the invaluable roles they played during the unfortunate incident.”
