No life lost in NYSC HQ fire outbreak – Official gives update

The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, says it has curtailed the sudden fire outbreak at its Directorate Headquarters.

The Scheme, in a statement by Eddy Megwa, Director, Press and Public Relations, said the fire was put off by the FCT and Federal Fire Service Departments.

“The fire incident which started about 7:30am on Friday 4th November 2022 was limited to the 3rd floor of the six-storey building edifice which is occupied by Planning Research and Statistics as well as the General Service Department affected only a particular room with electronic gadgets,” the statement said.

“Fortunately enough, no life was lost and all vital documents were promptly evacuated and safeguarded.”

The Scheme said it heartily appreciates the Federal and FCT Fire Service Departments for their prompt response which minimized the effect of the fire incident.

It also “appreciates all security agencies for the invaluable roles they played during the unfortunate incident.”
