He noted that the North-East is not only included in the SAPZ program, but that several states from the region have already met the eligibility criteria for the second phase of the project.

Fire Razes Two-Storey Building in Onitsha, Property Destroyed

Property worth millions of naira were lost in a fire outbreak at a two-storey residential building in Akunnia Street, Woliwo, Onitsha, Anambra State in the early hours of Monday.

The incident, which occurred around 4.35am, affected the last floor of the building.

Though no life was lost in the inferno, the fire, according to eyewitnesses, would have spread to other adjourning buildings if not for quick intervention of neighbors before the arrival of firefighters who later brought it under control.

Confirming the incident, the State Fire Chief, Engr. Martin Agbili said the cause of the fire remained unknown, adding that no life was lost in the inferno.

He said: ā€œAt about 0435hrs (4.35am) of today, Monday 25-07-2022, Anambra State Fire Service received a distress call of fire outbreak in a two-storey residential building at Akunnia Street, WOLIWO, Onitsha.

ā€œWe deployed two (2) fire trucks and firefighters to the fire scene. The fire was fought, controlled and extinguished with the assistance of the public who were at the scene before our arrival.

ā€œAlthough the fire affected the last floor of the building but a lot were saved within and around the burning building.

ā€œAs at the time of fighting the fire, the cause of the fire remains unknown and there was no loss of life.

ā€œMajor challenge encountered was that our fire trucks found it difficult to penetrate the street to the burning building due to how the buildings were structured with no space for emergency vehicles.

ā€œWe left the fire scene at about 0645hrs (6.45am).ā€
