President Bola Tinubu’s son, Mr. Seyi Tinubu, has promised to assist survivors of the Saint Academy Jos school building collapse to recover from the tragedy and pick up their lives.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that 22 people died in the July 12 tragedy, while 154 others were injured.

Tinubu made the promise in Jos on Friday, during a visit to the site of the building collapse and the hospitals where the injured victims were recuperating.

The president’s son, who was represented by the National Chairman, Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Mr Belusochukwu Enwere, said the visit was to ascertain what actually happened.

He said that he was deeply saddened by the tragedy that cut short the lives of many young people.

“I am here to convey a message of hope to all those injured, wishing them a quick recovery so they can return to classes and pursue their dreams. We pray for the souls of those who died to rest in peace.

“I am here to see what is happening first-hand and to report back to him. We aim to render assistance to the students.

“We will do everything possible to ensure that the injured receive proper care and return to school. This is sacrosanct because the situation involves the lives of students, youths, and our future, the future of our children, and our country,” he said.

He assured me that the unpaid bills would be taken care of for the students to be discharged without any issues.

He advised builders to follow due process and adhere to specified building standards to avoid such mishaps in the future.

Tinubu called on the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and the Institute of Building to enforce strict measures and sanctions on those constructing schools, hospitals, or residential buildings without adherence to standards.

According to him, it will help prevent such tragic incidents in the future.

Also speaking, the Plateau, Chairman of YOWICAN, Mr Panmak Lere, expressed excitement that help was coming the way of the victims.

“We have also listened to the hospital management. Some bills from the Yelwa Zangam attacks during the last administration are still unpaid.


“We made commitments to the management to follow up on these issues. I am confident that the current administration will ensure the debts from the previous administration are settled,” he added.

The Administrator, Our Lady of Apostles (OLA) Hospital, Jos, Rev. Sister Jovita Egwu, said that when the incident occurred, five were brought in dead, six were treated at the outpatient department, and they were discharged the same day.

Egwu stated that a total of 22 victims were hospitalised, adding that all those who were brought in alive were still recuperating.

“The state government has announced that they will take care of the treatment costs. We hope they will follow through on this because, during the Yelwa Zangam attack, up to today, about N2 million remains unpaid.

“When incidents like this happen, we still have the resources to manage, but we expect the promised payments to be made.

“As we speak, we have not received support from the government. We hope they will act on their promise, as this is an emergency. Supplies should be sent immediately so we can use them right away,” Egwu said.

She added: “If we have to wait for another month before receiving payments, it becomes very difficult, especially if we don’t have the necessary resources at hand,” she stated.

That's a great move from Tinubu's son. The gesture is highly commendable and it shows the family's commitment towards supporting and improving the education sector in Nigeria. More grace to their elbow

Nice gesture but.... Pledges assistance in what capacity?

I hope it is on GENUINE, personal humanitarian grounds and not OFFICE OF THE FIRST SON OF NIGERIA.

It's a good thing he's actively helping out from time to time unlike past redundant president children who just fly private jet all around with no impact on the youths

What happened to the elites and politicians from Plateau state?

Where will the money come from? What business does he do?

nice one

Elsewhere,,one online President son is a gay/lunatic pro

We will do everything possible to ensure that the injured receive proper care and return to school. This is sacrosanct because the situation involves the lives of students, youths, and our future, the future of our children, and our country

The only way to provide sucur to those grieving families is to go after the engineers and contractors of that school, ensure that they pay dearly for cutting corners.

Ok

Every disaster provides politicians with a strategic opportunity to position themselves as empathic listeners.

Some will be like where did he get the money from?

He is a successful entrepreneur! He is rich! No be hin papa dey fund am!

Ok. Best of luck with that

thisis the way....steal their money, then donate it to them when they are dying

You don't need to manage resources when buying expensive wristwatches, buying luxury car and houses but in times of disaster, you suddenly remember you need to manage resources. Nonsense

OK well done
Don't fail to talk to your father
