The Police Public Relations Officer for Osun state, Mrs. Folasade Odoro, said the school building collapsed following a heavy wind on Wednesday morning. Two people were injured. Continue...
Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola, reacted to the incident via a statement he released through his media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon.
"The Government of the State of Osun regrets to inform members of the public about the suspect incidence of the collapse of the main hall of the newly completed ultra-modern Ejigbo High School.
“Information at the disposal of the government indicates that the main hall which had been completed along with other classrooms of the school came down at about 6am Wednesday after a loud bang.
“As a responsible government, it is too early for us to say what the exact cause of the collapse is until we have full investigations and advice of professionals.
“However, it must be stated here that all necessary quality assurance tests were carried out to ensure structural durability and integrity of the project.
“Engineers from the Osun Ministry of Works and engineers from the Structural Engineering section of the Nigerian Society of Engineers have been dispatched to the site to establish the real cause of this unfortunate incident.”

You see? That's my problem with govt,they'd rather come up with flamboyant and flimsy excuses to defend their failure than own up to it.I'm sure the contract was awarded based on favouritism and not based on competency.Am glad the building collapsed as a work in progress.
This must be a political saga from the opposition party. Read my lips, it has inside work as Osun state election is approaching.
hmmmm,thank God nobody is injured... nkemdirimeverista111@gmail.com
rofl awon oloshi, is that how they wants to kill our students? with their fake fake low budget material, only in osun you will see new house under 6 months, all the facilities don pack up, pipe bursts-ed, toilet seat broken, wall leaking water, tiles wey no fit withstand a high heel shoe. This one wey everything collapse is a funny one. Corruption at its peak, how much did they pay the contractors? how much did they cut for the builders and pocket the remaining? they dont know the meaning of project supervisor?, those illitrate bricklayers too will build rubbish for person and now they are bruck like a dawg!!!!

"As a responsibly government indeed", God is awesome, he has prevented what would have resulted to a big disaster.
Nonsense people! It's good it collapsed noow rather than later when it will kill innocent children! I am sure the contractor didn't use the right materials for the building, so they shudnt come and tell us trash!!!!
Bad news. Thank God no one was in there when it collapsed.
CoolDiva speaks!
i love dis country. y won`t it collapse wen money av changed hands & d block used in building is more of SAND dan CEMENT. hmmmmmmmm God will help dis country.
APC is working. The more you look, the less you see.
Disgrace..can u imagine........................................#KingOfKings
Thank God no life was lost.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Update: Cause of crash: Cheap and sub-standard building materials used to cut cost so that the contract amount can go round greedy people.
Hmmmm! Strange....
Na wa o which kind work the builders do?
We are waiting for the investigation report. I hope it won't be wat am thinking? ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
Rubbish and greedy contractor
Jayc..
OOOO chim...This fake ppl will not kill somebody oo
naija my country. no seriousness in everytin we do. they just re-paint an old school hall n eat the remaining money, now call for commissioning, let it look as if they are doing good for the community.God will help dis country. amen
Thank God it wasn't commissioned if not people would have lost their lives in that building. They should hold whoever is responsible for building the school hall....He was careless and didn't monitor the job well or used cheap materials
A brand new house dey colaps wen buildings of d 18th century -subjected to d same wind and rainfall- stil dey stand kampe... Our contractors, thr is God oo
quack building contractors resulted to this,thank Jehovah that no life was lost.Also it could be cutting corners,cheap materials,substandard materials and unnecessary haste in meeting deadlines.May God always keep his own.
Trust the contractor to cut corners....can you imagine if the building had collapsed on top of kids???
Nawa. The materials used could be of poor quality. Chioma_kairo@yahoo.com
How can u sey it has been completed wen i see bamboo everywia?
They'll soon say it's PDP that caused it. Lol
Investigating the cause?
It was caused by cheap labor and cheap materials!
Smh at the fact that someone/ppl pocketed millions but chose to neglect the lives of others; what if this fell on the kids?.....
*My R1.50c comment*
Ogbeni Rauf why is this happening to u nah when its just one month to d state's election...i just hope PDP has no hand in this.
oh please they can take several seats ... when they use very poor quality materials in a bid to syphon money what do they expect ?
Thats what we get from cutting corners and using substandard products. everyone is trying to make money quick without considering the dangers.
This is the result of 1 bag of Dangote cement equaling 100 blocks...Hehehehe! thank God no life lost.. I wonder when all this yeye government will all die! Useless bunch
yeye people. that how they kill innocent people due to corruption and corrupt practices. just imagine if children were in the hall?
Thank God no one is dead
Omo dis one na spiritual o..hehe
Can u I imagine.....a govt. school and a govt. approved contract. Governor Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola, u better not sweep this under the carpet like dirty politicians do, expose the contractor so he can tell what he/she used in building that school. I have never heard where wind collapsed a building...was it built with paper?
Thank God no 1 was killed..but d contractor hav a lot to ans. Greed!

EVERYONE IS CUTTING CORNERS TO MAKE AS MUCH PROFIT AS POSSIBLE.GREED THE FATHER OF THE DAY AS EATEN DEEP INTO THE SKIN OF ALL HUMAN. ITS THE OBVIOUS TRUTH ACCEPT IT. THE WORSE IS THE CHEMICAL BEING USED IN NIGERIA AND NO SORT OF REGULATION IN PLACE FOR IT.....
All these evil contractors who just enjoy cutting corners, the negligence and the desire to get rich irrespective of the consequence, is our biggest problem, not our gov't
Sub-standard materials @ work.. Thank God no life was lost

Thank God no life was lost....It would have been another story if students were there.. I wont be surprised all they used were inferior
wat really happen is 10 bags of sand to 1 bag of cement dats was happen. Dey go build better building 4 demself n build yeye ting 4 d poor to kill deir children. God pass dem
They had better check the other classrooms well to ensure the structural work is okay before they put innocent children there o abeg. Better still pull the classrooms down and put up a better building since the work was done by the same engineer.
That's A ƍöôϑ Sign From †ђƹ Lord, They Should Thank Their Stars †ђƹ Thing No Collapse On Their Head When They Were Declaring †ђƹ Building Open. †ƕǎƞƙs ßƹ To God For †ђƹ Evil Averted. (Linda's Man)
na wa o... A whole govt cnt call xpert engineers 2 check d place nd hw 2 tackle probs lyk dis. Dis country is jez sumhw... Tnk God no one died
()L@-WUNMI
anonymous. bad contractor and workers
very funny, maybe they used salt in place of cement in building it.
Wen dem go use 1 bag of cement for over 200 blocks..dem go say e jst happen no b wen students don dey inside...
C.E.O
Thats what happened when they use money meant for the project to entice ppl for election
i taught Aregbesola is an engineer *hiss*
The governor is funny abeg, why is he trying to make stupid excuses? Please what other reason would make a newly completed building collapse other than lowest standard project? That's what happens when you fail to award contracts based on merit and competency but based on your stupid politics....Now Shit has hit the fan, he should hide his face in shame and stop feeding us with BS
Thank nobody died.
Thank God nobody died.
THE STATE MINISTRY OF WORKS AND ENGINEERING ASSOCIATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISPATCHED DURING CONSTRUCTION NOT ONLY AFTER SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED.
WHY IS THIS GOVT SO REACTIVE RATHER THAN PROACTIVE IN ITS DEALINGS PLSSSSS? I AV TIRE
And the stupid governor said intergrity
Go seat down 4 bush, ur kind of person always look for execuses for ur failure.
That's govt for u, when they keep on using substandard materials and were in haste to commission the project. At the end the day, they will come out and blame the opposition for this mess.
the appropriate building materials is left unused.
so what do you expect?
no comment abeg
BORN TO SHINE!!!!

Illiterates b like!
I luv u bislam. U can speak eeeee
WOW!And kids were meant to be in this building?
Hehe! Thank God No One Died...
It is not enough to award contracts; it is also incumbent on the state government to ensure compliance with quality and standards. Any how you look at it, the state government failed in its obligation and should own up immediately rather than setting up a committee to investigate the obvious.
thank God no one died.. patoswife@gmail.com
