The Nasarawa State Ministry of Information and Ethical Re-orientation, Lafia, has been gutted by fire on Friday.

According to The Vanguard, the fire started in the ministry’s store and destroyed property worth millions of Naira.

The ministry’s staff including the Commissioner, Alhaji Hamza Elayo intervened by using detergents and water to douse the fire before the arrival of fire fighters.

No life was reportedly lost in the fire but archival materials such as calendars, historical documents, diaries and other electrical appliances were burnt.

Elayo said the fire, which started around 10.30 a.m was caused by power fluctuations.

He added that the ministy’s store was being reorganised before the incident.

Elayo also said that experts would be invited from the state ministry of works to ascertain the level of damage in the building to avoid cracks that might lead to its collapse.
