The permanent secretary’s office, which was under renovation had electrical fault. The fire affected office furniture and other office valuables.



Speaking during the incident, the Deputy Controller, State Fire Service, Salihu Bello, said even though there were no fire-fighting engines in the Government House as at the time of the incident, the state Fire Service was able to mobilise three engines to the scene under 15 minutes and stopped the fire.
