Access Bank PLC on Wednesday commended the Federal Fire Service and Lagos State Fire Service for their support in controlling a fire outbreak that occurred at its branch at Adetokunbo Ademola, in Victoria Island, Lagos earlier in the day.
It also thanked Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos State Emergency Management Authority (LASEMA), Chevron Nigeria Ltd, United Bank for Africa (UBA) PLC, and Union Bank PLC for their support in the exercise.
The Group Head, Corporate Communications, Mr. Amaechi Okobi, who commended the organizations in a statement, said that there were no casualties in the incident.
The bank in a message on its tweeter handle shed more light on the incident, saying the cause of the fire was a diesel truck discharging fuel.

He said that upon completion, the Bank would establish updated protocols to avoid a recurrence of similar incidents.
