Sheraton Hotel Ikeja roof collapse

The advertising body of Nigeria were having a conference at the banquet hall of Sheraton hotel in Ikeja this afternoon when they noticed severe leaking in the roof. The attendees had to move to a separate part of the room, but less than a minute later, the roof caved in and guests had to rush out of the conference room out of fear...

The attendees complained that no management of Sheraton came out to apologise to the guests, that they were more concerned about guests not taking pictures but a LIBer managed to take a few and sent it in. See another photo after the cut...

      They had it coming. Event the management of Sheraton Abuja is quite poor. This country is always interested in taking but not putting anything back in.

If they focused on the right things, there would be building regulations that managers have to conform to. Nigeria has no earthquakes, yet buildings will be falling down
