    On Thursday, a store in the House of Representatives area of the National Assembly building in Abuja caught fire and destroyed records.

    The New Building, House of Reps Wing of the Complex’s second floor was emitting smoke when the alarm was sounded.

    The wing that housed MPs’ offices, committee rooms, banks, and other private interests is part of the area that was destroyed by fire.

    The Director of Information, National Assembly, Rawlings Agada, in a statement on Thursday titled ‘Reported Fire Incident at the House of Representatives New Wing Today, Thursday, 11th August, 2022, in the National Assembly Complex,’ confirmed the incident.

    In a statement, Agada mentioned that the firefighters entered the afflicted office with the help of the workers who were on duty and extinguished the fire.

    He continued, assuring that investigations would be conducted, that the Fire Service and the Estate and Works Directorate would return the New Wing housing to normal after proper inspection.
