Embezzle and Burn Resumes: Federal Secretariat on fire Aided by the dry harmattan wind, a ferocious inferno on Sunday swept through the Federal Secretariat Complex, Ikoyi, Lagos razing all 12 floors of the building housing the office of the National Agency for Foods and Drugs Administration (NAFDAC). The fire, according to security men at the complex, started on the 11th floor at about 9 p.m. but soon spread to the adjacent wing of the complex which houses the Bureau for Private Enterprise (BPE) and Ministry of Health.
