Bauchi State Governor Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir has appealed to students of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi, to consider the tragedy that affected the institution at the Gubi Campus in which lives were lost as an act of God.

Abdulkadir said this when he received officials of the National Union of Bauchi State Students who paid him a courtesy call at the Government House, Bauchi, and requested him to immediately reconstruct the collapsed bridge which killed four students.

Represented by the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Alhaji Abubakar Yakubu Sulaiman, Abdulkadir assured them of government’s action.

While sympathising with the management of the university over the incident, Gov. Abdulkadir prayed for the repose of the souls of the victims.

National President of NUBASS, Ibrahim Hashimu Abdullahi, appealed for the provision of health facilities and construction of boreholes in the university in order to alleviate the suffering of the students.

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Muhammed Ahmad Abdulazeez, said so far, three students were confirmed dead and that “no student is missing.”

He spoke yesterday when he received Governor Abdulkadir’s representative, who paid a sympathy visit to the institution. He said the university management had constituted a high powered committee to work out modalities towards averting recurrence of such incident.

So an act of God, for the rickety bridge abi?


If there is a price for insanity in this world, we will win it.

hmmm...is the act of improper construction of bridge. They should not blame God

These politicians don't care about the masses in any way. If his son was part of those who lost their lives would he say such bullocks.

By the way, boko haram was also an 'act from God' at the early stage, now it has become an uncontrollable overfed beast

Even buhari, many northerners in 2015 said the same thing about him, but we can all see that he is just a wolve in sheep's clothing.

A stupid statement this people always think we are fools. how do I even find myself in this country Am tired am just too tired hearing all this trashy talks

Had it been one of his loved one (his daughter) was among the victim, he wouldn't even remember to mention God's name not to talk of attributing the failure to God.

Failed leadership in a supposed great nation.

Just go and become a prophet instead.

that River get power oo

How can death as a result of dilapidated or substandard structures be "An act of God"?

The naivety of a state governor.

The disaster wasn't blamed on the devil this time

I'm surprised
