No life was lost, according to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), when a fire broke out at its Abuja headquarters on Friday.
This was said in a statement released on Friday by Mr. Eddy Megwa, Director of Press Relations.
He said that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Federal Fire Service Departments put out the fire right away.
He claimed that the fire, which broke out about 7:30 am, was contained to the third level of the six-story building.
Megwa further mentioned that the General Service Department and Planning, Research, and Statistics are both located on the same floor, and that the fire only affected a specific room with electronic devices.
”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’,” he added.
