The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), says no life was lost in the sudden fire outbreak at its headquarters in Abuja, on Friday.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Director of Press Relations, Mr Eddy Megwa, on Friday.
He said that the fire was immediately put out by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Federal Fire Service Departments.
