The Public Relations Officer of the polytechnic, Sola Lawal, in a chat on Thursday told our correspondent that the cause of the fire was not yet known.

He, however, commended the men of Osun State Fire Service and their Federal counterpart for responding quickly to the distress call, which according to him, prevented escalation.
