The office, located on the third floor ‘Abena Ateaa’ Towers, also houses several businesses and other academic institutions which have currently been closed due to the impact of the fire.
The ground floor of the seven-storey building, said to be the property of the mother of Ghanaian football international, Mr Samuel Osei Kufuor, also houses Access Bank.
Eye witnesses told the Daily Grapic that the fire started at about 6:30 am with smoke coming from the third floor of the building.
Attempts to quench the fire proved futile as the fire extinguishers available could not put out the flames.

The Sikkim Manipal University, a sister institution to NIIT, which shares the third and fourth floor with NIIT was also affected.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic, the Managing Director of Sikkim Manipal University, Mr Kapil Gopta, said classes for the students have currently been suspended.
“We will be having exams in April and until then, we have suspended classes for the students. We hope to find alternative classrooms should investigations on the fire delay,” he said.

On the source of the fire, Mr Gopta could not immediately confirm but expressed confidence in the GNFS to help identify the source.
A source close to the family of Mr Osei Kufuor, blamed the current load shedding exercise as the cause of the fire outbreak.
“We are lucky it did not happen during working hours. The current load shedding exercise is not helping us at all,” he said.
