As the fire engulfed and continued to bring down the Library, students and the Fire Service officials made efforts to control the burning section of the University but their efforts made little help as the fire did not only stop at the Library but as far as burning the Departments of Psychology, Accounting, Economics, Political sciences and Business Management sciences.
