Eko Hot Blog reports that the Office of the Lagos State Surveyor-General has disclosed that its data is secure following a fire.
Earlier on Saturday, fire gutted the office in Alausa, Lagos, and burnt documents, raising concerns that valuable data had been lost.
However, in a statement later on Saturday, Ayokunnu Adesina, the acting Surveyor-General, Lagos State, said the documents burnt during the inferno are in the cloud and alternative websites.

“The emergency responders, especially the State Fire and Rescue Service, put out the fire promptly after a distress call to the emergency rescue lines.
“There is no cause for panic as all documents burnt during the inferno are safely backed up in the cloud and alternative sites.”
