Timely Intervention Averts Major Disaster As Fire Catches CBN Jos Branch

Timely intervention has averted what would have been a major fire disaster at the Jos Branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Tuesday.

CBN confirmed the aborted disaster in a Tweet on Tuesday, saying, “Minor fire outbreak at the Jos branch of Central Bank of Nigeria, promptly contained today, April 21, 2020″.
