Server room affected in fire outbreak at ICT unit of FCTA

A fire incident occurred at the server room of the information and communication technology (ICT) unit of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).

Muhammad Sule, director of information and communication, said the fire was caused by a power surge at about 8pm on Thursday.

He said the incident, which partially affected the server room, was contained in less than 15 minutes by the combined efforts of federal and FCT fire services, and the security men on duty.

“The administration wishes to assure its clientele that the incident will not in any way interfere with its daily operations as there exists adequate redundancy,” Sule said.

“To this end, there is no cause for alarm as the incident will not in any way hinder the smooth operations of the ICT unit nor any function of the administration.

“The administration wishes to use this medium to commend the prompt intervention of the gallant officers of the FCT and federal fire service officials for their prompt response and action.”
