Fire Incident: FCTA Says fire didn’t raze Asokoro Main Building

By Joyce Remi- Babayeju

Following media reports that on the Asokoro Hospital fire incident, the Federal Capital Territory administration, FCTA, has put records straight that the main building and other important structures of the Asokoro District Hospital were not affected by the fire incident which occurred on Thursday.

The Director-General of the Federal Capital Hospital Services Management Board, Dr. Mohammed Kawu who made clarification said it became necessary against the backdrop of media reports that the entire building structures at the Asokoro District Hospital have been razed by fire.

Kawu said, “Fire was noticed at about 12 noon at the IHVN and Tuberculosis porta cabin that is located at the back of the hospital main building. These porta cabins are isolated from the main building and so the fire did not pose any threat to the structures which house patients.”

According to him the FCT fire service was called in and they responded promptly and were able to contain the fire.

The Male Out Patient Department was evacuated and all the cylinders removed from the oxygen plant to ensure safety of the patients.

He noted that following the precautionary measures taken, no member of staff or patients sustained any injury, pointing out that normal hospital services have since resumed at the hospital.
