Main Hall of Newly Completed School in OsunState Collapses

The main hall of a newly completed high school built by the
Osun State government collapsed yesterday morning.
Fortunately, no lives were lost. However, two artisans who
were laying tiles in the building when it collapsed, were
injured according to Punch.
The school, which had reportedly been inspected by
government officials a few days prior to the collapse of the
hall, was supposed to be commissioned tomorrow.
Speaking on the incident, Folasade Odoro, Police Public
Relations Officer for the state reportedly attributed the
collapse to "heavy wind."
A statement has been released by the Osun State
government via media aide, Semiu Okanlawon:
"
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
6am Wednesday after a loud bang.
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.
Engineers from the Osun Ministry of Works and
engineers from the Structural Engineering section of the
Nigerian Society of Engineers have been dispatched to
the site to establish the real cause of this unfortunate
incident.
