Nigeria, Dr. Sarah Alade, on Wednesday
said no serious damage was recorded in
the fire incident at the bank's office
annex in Lagos on Tuesday.
The News Agency of Nigeria reported
that Alade disclosed this to newsmen in
Lagos while on a visit to the affected
building to determine the extent of the
damage.
She attributed the cause of the fire to
"electrical spark," which she said
destroyed some furniture and personal
effects of some Lagos staff.
The acting CBN governor promised that
some records destroyed by the fire
would be recovered by the Disaster
Recovering Unit of the bank.
"There was no loss of life. In terms of
documents, only few were lost and we
have back up for that.
"Mostly, personal effects were lost and
which can be replaced," she said.
The CBN boss, however, said that the
incident affected foreign exchange
trading for one day.
She said the workers occupying the
affected building, which she said had
already been earmarked for demolition,
would be relocated to a new building in
the premises.
Alade also said that the fire did not
affect the governor's office as earlier
reported by some media.
She said that the incident affected the
first floor of the affected building
housing the banking hall.
