Fire has destroyed academic facilities worth millions of naira at SteadyFlow College of Education in Akparabong, Ikom Local Government Area of Cross River State.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

According to an eyewitness, Ada Agbor, the fire started after a passerby mistakenly discarded a cigarette filter at a bush close to the perimeter fence of the school.<\/p>\n

Facilities destroyed by the fire include lecture halls, toilets and offices.<\/p>\n

However, the founder of the school, Mr Jones Tangban, a former National Assembly member representing Boki\/Ikom federal constituency, attributed the fire incident to indiscriminate bush burning<\/p>\n

He appealed to the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, and the Cross River State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, to come to the rescue of the school.<\/p>\n

Tangban equally thanked God as no life was lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteadyFlow College of Education Academic complex has been engulfed by wild fire today. So much has been destroyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need state and federal government agencies to come to our aid because resumption is affected by the destruction of facilities at the college,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
