Until people are held accountable for their actions and inactions, things like this will continue to happen.

Everywhere you look; mediocrity, fake products, poor service delivery etc. Standardization and quality control are almost non-existent.

The company, the contractor, the government officials that gave approval and every body in the entire supply chain that contributed to erecting that board have questions to answer.

RIP to the deceased but we need to do better.

The foundation of that board is so poor from the pictures I saw in Facebook.

So painful to survive the hardships of the nation and meet your death in the poorly done structure of Nigeria.

Bad accident.

Really sad indeed.

Another lesson learned.

It is time to stop erecting giant billboard to avoid unexpected accident like this, real lesson learned.

RIP to the dead and those injured I ish them speedy recovery.

Pls don't blame the govt for this it is an accident and can happen anywhere.
