The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) management has assured Nigerians that no life was lost in the fire outbreak that occurred at the national headquarters on Friday, saying all vital documents were intact.
The Scheme stated this in a statement signed by the director, Press and Public Relations, Mr. Eddy Megwa, adding that the fire was limited to the third floor of the building.
It added that the sudden fire was promptly curtailed by the FCT and Federal Fire Service Departments.
“The fire incident which started about 7:30am on Friday, November4, 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.
“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 fire incident,” the statement read in part.
