Another public institution has experienced fire just days after parts of the West African Examination Council was gutted.
This time, the National Youth Service Corps recorded a blaze in Abuja on Friday.
The commission, however, 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 occurred at about 07.30am.
