Management of the West African Examination Council, WAEC, has released a statement addressing a fire outbreak that occurred in its national office in the Yaba area of Lagos State earlier this morning.

In the statement however, Adesina disclosed that the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service and other emergency response teams curbed the situation promptly.

The statement read: “WAEC wishes to inform the general public that there was an early morning fire incident at the WAEC National Office, Yaba, Lagos.

“It was swiftly contained by a combined team of fire fighters.

“Thankfully, no life was lost and all important documents and records are intact.”
