The chairman of CAADES group, Dr Chima Anyaso has called on Nigerian, the youths and those related to the victims of the building collapsed that happened at Ikoyi, Lagos state to bear the loss of their dear ones with fortitude.


Anyaso gave the message through his verified Instagram account, saying that he is both in pains and short of words to express how he feels over the loss of several lives in one swoop.


He said that the collapsed building has killed so many people who are both current and future leaders of our great country, who would have in one way or the other contributed their own quota to the development of the country.


The youthful leader said, "Dear Nigerians and Nigerian youths, today we mourn with those that lost their loved ones in the Ikoyi tragedy that happened some time ago, killing so many current and future leaders of our great country. May the souls of the faithful departed continue to rest in peace".


He said, "We mourn with the families of victims of the Ikoyi building collapse. Our collective strength as a society is expressed in our humanity in times of tragedy such as this. We mourn".


Anyaso however called on youths of the country not to lose hope because of the unfortunate Ikoyi tragedy but to forge ahead with whatever they are doing that is legitimate as God will surely reward them abundantly.


The chairman of CAADES group then charged the families that lost their dear ones in the building collapse, to try and pick up the pieces of their lives and move on as their loved dead ones will not be happy to see them mourn too much.
