The Kwame Nkrumah Circle branch of Computer Training Institute, NIIT, has been engulfed by fire.
Joy News’ Beatrice Adu who is at the scene reports that fire men are currently battling the raging fires.
The third floor of the Abenaa Atea Building which houses several other businesses has been completely destroyed, according to Myjoyonline.com's Ernest Dela Aglanu. He said fire fighters are struggling to stop the inferno spreading from the Academic City section to other parts of the building.
The ground floor of the 7-Storey building, said to belong to the mother of Ghanaian football international, Samuel Osei Kufuor, also houses Access Bank.
The Sikkim Manipal University shares the 3rd and 4th floors with the NIIT and the two institutions have been the most affected.
A cleaner who works at the building said she noticed the fire at about 6:30 Tuesday morning but all efforts to reach the fire service proved unsuccessful.
She said the fire extinguishers also failed to function when the security men she alerted tried to quench the fire.
Dela Aglanu quotes the Accra Regional Police PRO, DSP Freeman Tettey as saying investigations into the fire incident will start immediately.
The wife of Samuel Osei Kufuor has been to the building to assess the extent of damage caused by the fire. The fire has since been controlled.
