There was a fire outbreak in the early hours of Monday in a temporary building in the premises of Nigeria's foremost integrated power company, Geometric Power located in the Osisioma Industrial Layout, Aba, Abia State.
The affected building according to the management, was used by a defunct South African electricity firm known as Group 5 during the construction of facilities in the integrated power company and has been of little use in over 12 years.
The fire which cause is yet to be determined, was however, contained by the Geometric Power staff before the arrival of the Abia State Fire Service which responded promptly to the emergency call.
In a statement Monday, Geometric Power management commended its staff members for their vigilance and gallant efforts in containing the fire and the Abia State Fire Service for its swift response and professionalism.
It also appreciated members of the public for their concern and support and assured the public of their commitment to work assiduously for "constant, quality and affordable electricity in the Aba Power Ring-fenced Area and elsewhere," for the rapid socioeconomic progress of the Nigerian nation.
