A section of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) headquarters in Abuja, the nation’s capital city, was gutted by fire on Friday.
The incident happened on the third floor of the six-storey edifice, with no loss of lives recorded.
It cannot be ascertained if documents were lost to the inferno as at press time.
This was contained in a statement on Friday by the Corps’ Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa.
“Fortunately enough, no life was lost and all vital documents were promptly evacuated and safeguarded,” the statement read.
“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,” the statement reads.
