Accountant General Of The Federation Wants Fire Incident In His Office Probed
Vital documents still intact, says Senate finance committee
The Accountant General of the Federation, Mr Idris Ahmed, has demanded for a panel of inquiry to investigate the fire that gutted a part of his office on Wednesday morning.
He equally recommended that report of the panel be made available to the Senate.
Mr. Ahmed said this when the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Solomon Adeola, visited the scene of the incident and the office of the Accountant General.
He commended the FCT Fires Service and over 25 fire trucks from NNPC, CBN, Julius Berger and the Army that came to the rescue when FCT Fire Service ran out of water, adding that their efforts limited the damages to the building.
Senator Adeola after the assessment of the incident claimed that the incident was a minor one.
Senator Adeola said having visited the office where the fire started, he was convinced that irreparable damage was not done to the building while vital documents were not burnt.
