Fire has gutted the main offices of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), destroying several property.
The fire affected the registry, accounts offices, office of the Deputy Chairman Finance and Administration Augustina Akusua Akumnayi, office of the PRO Mr Paapa Nketsiah, among other offices.
Meanwhile officials say “confidential documents” were saved.
Joy News correspondents who rushed to the scene confirmed that three fire tenders were on hand to put out the fire.
One of the offices housed a Deputy Chairman of the Electoral Commission, David Kanga, who had the roof of the office and office equipment burnt.
Several computers and other electrical appliances in the other offices were also reduced to ashes.
NCCE officials and fire personnel could not tell immediately what might have caused the fire outbreak, but some workers say it started from an air conditioner at the registry.
It took the fire fighters about two hours to completely put the fire under control.
