The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has recorded another fire incident at its head office at Marina in Lagos in the early hours of Wednesday, September 22, 2021.
It was purportedly triggered by an electrical surge, which affected three offices on the sixth floor of the Broad Street wing of the facility, but operatives of the NPA Fire Service Department immediately mobilised to the scene and promptly contained the fire.
Working in line with safety protocols, the management has since cordoned- off affected floors, as an investigation was ongoing to ascertain the cause of the fire outbreak.
The fire affected one office where two desktops, tables, chairs and other furniture were razed, just as Two other adjoining offices were affected by smoke and soot.
Management of the Authority appreciates the prompt response and professionalism of the Authority’s Fire service and security departments and wishes to assure all stakeholders and the general public that no sensitive documents were lost and normalcy has been restored and that our operations have not been disrupted in any way.
