Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Finance building in Abuja\u2019s Central Area went up in flames Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The exact section where the fire started is not known yet. Officers from the Fire Service are at the scene.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred barely two weeks after a similar one at the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN).<\/p>\n

The inferno reportedly started from office of the Special Adviser to FMBN MD, Ahmed Dangiwa, and spread to the boardroom.<\/p>\n

There have been multiple fire outbreaks at federal agencies in Abuja in the last three years.<\/p>\n

In October 2019, fire gutted the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) headquarters.<\/p>\n

In April 17, 2020, parts of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office was burnt.<\/p>\n

Similar incident happened one week earlier at the office of Nigeria\u2019s Accountant General.<\/p>\n

Earlier, fire broke out at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) headquarters.<\/p>\n

Nigerians continually express worry about the federal government\u2019s refusal to initiate a thorough probe of the incidents.<\/p>\n
