There was tension in Ejigbo, Ejigbo Local
Government Area of Osun State in the early hours of
Wednesday when one of the newly constructed
buildings in a mega school located in the ancient
town suddenly collapsed, leaving two people
critically injured.
Nigerian Tribune authoritatively gathered that the
incident, which occurred at Ajoda area around 6.05
a.m., threw the community into confusion following a
loud bang when the building, which is the main hall
of the newly completed school, caved in.
Reacting to the development in a statement, the
Director, Bureau of Communications and Strategy to
Governor Rauf Aregbesola, Mr Semiu Okanlawon,
said the government regreted to inform members of
the public about the incident of the collapse of the
main hall of the newly completed ultramodern High
School, Ejigbo.”
According to the statement, “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 6.00
a.m. on Wednesday, after a loud bang was heard by
those who were within the hall and others within the
vicinity of the project.”
It continues that “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, just
as in all other projects under this administration.”
While assuring that engineers from the Osun Ministry
of Works and engineers from the Structural
Engineering section of the Nigerian Society of
Engineers had been dispatched to the site to
establish the real cause of the incident, the
statement said there was no cause for alarm.”
Reacting to the development, the Osun State chapter
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accused the All
Progressives Congress (APC) of allegedly using fake
and substandard building materials in the
construction of model schools in the state.
In a statement signed by the state party chairman of
the PDP, Alhaji Ganiyu Olaoluwa, the party said “we
described the situation as sheer wickedness, but also
expressed gratitude that no student was hurt in the
incident.”
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO) of Osun State Police command, Mrs Folasade
Odoro, confirmed the incident, saying that
investigation was already ongoing over the matter.

It is true. A colleague sent a message to me from Osun that traces of low calibre explosives were found in the vicinity of the building with signs of fire.

see the picture of the collapsed school.

PDP should be investigated

inferior building materials, quack tradesmen and lack of inspection during construction. Thank God students were not in school when the building collapsed.

Thank God no life was lost in the incident. It's not a matter of less in standard equipments that are used in the construction, such do happen attimes. Recently, before we vacate. A giant building that is still under construction collapsed in Unilorin and many people were injured.
Now tell me, is my school not having money to use standard equipments for the construction or what went wrong.

OmoLisabi: It is true. A colleague sent a message to me from Osun that traces of low calibre explosives were found in the vicinity of the building with signs of fire.

They have started again. PDP bombed the school? Chai

It is clearly stated in the source that it was caused as a result of heavy wind tha blew that day.

But the OP in his hatred and stupidity frame the post and removed where it was clearly stated that it was caused by heavy wind.

Now, who should we blame for heavy wind or this is your 1st time of hearing that wind blew buildings and tree off.

Read properly from the source and don't mind that senseless OP

Thanks, but why attacking the OP, this was the article he copied http://www.tribune.com.ng/news/top-stories/item/10253-osun-mega-school-building-collapses-2-injured and no reason was stated in that link. It was the punch link that mentioned wind.

Now this is my own take on the collapse, I know APC will blame PDP for sabotage and they've already done that through their spokesperson and PDP will blame it on substandard materials and they've done that too. But the point is this is not the first time new building will collapse when old ones still remain standing. There should be a proper investigation to get the immediate and remote cause of the collapse in order to prevent future occurrences, not just to trade blames or score political points.

And now that you've known that it was caused by heavy wind, what do you want to say now or you'll blame God for the wind.

I did not blame anybody, check the post above yours.

Wow! 1st time you will say something sensible... Lolsss!

Sirniyeh: PDP should be investigated

Dear "Hey-Piii-Ciii" e-dog,

Not to worry, in exactly a year's time, i will urge you to stoop by the side of that canal that cuts across your neighborhood and cry out your eyes because PDP is taking over south-west gradually.

GEJ till 2019

Neyoor:

Wow! 1st time you will say something sensible... Lolsss!

I always do, just that to you they do seem as attack against Ogbeni in favour of my "pay masters" PDP/Omisore.

You are really crazy for calling me stupid and senseless. Tribune was my source not the punch cos that where I saw the news first. You can check tribune website to see if any change was made by me. I don't blame you sha, you are an APC supporter and that what you people usually do framing post,you people even frame up your fellow human being. Stupid fellow

Bomb blast today, new school building collapse tomorrow.

Talk about do or die politics even at the expense of school children.

Thank you jare bro,I was trying to modify my post to include the source after seeing that the link wasn't there but MTN network mysteriously disappear. I I Don't think the fool @neyoor (with green lizard brain upstairs)even read the whole story that I posted cos tribune was mentioned in the second paragraph, rather than read properly he was looking for a way to exonorate is paymaster by attacking my personality

are you saying it's normal for wind to blow down buildings? ....lol, I guess only in the South West tho

The rate at which things are collapsing in oshun state....
i hope aregberascal no go collapse join oo..

Please change the titile from "Mega" to "Maga,cos the people have been "maga" by the contractors,through the government.

The commissioner for works and infrastructure should be questioned about who handled the construction of the building and who is the commissioner for works and infrastructure- The Governor. The countdown to the 2014 governorship election in the state is no doubt getting interesting by the day and as expected, political forces and blocks are getting set to give the incumbent a run for his money. If you conduct an opinion poll now in Osun State, the definite answer you will get is that they are tired of Aregbesola. We are only waiting for the right time which is around the corner.

You quote me for nonsense......U die!
