The management of Geometric Power, one of Nigeria’s foremost integrated power companies, located in the Osisioma Industrial Layout, Aba, Abia State, has contained a fire outbreak early Monday.
In a statement made available by the company, the building 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 release read: “Though the cause of the fire has yet to be determined, it was contained by the Geometric Power staff before the arrival of the Abia State Fire Service which responded promptly to the emergency call.
