The Lagos State government has confirmed that no casualties were recorded at the building collapse of Odokekere High School in Ikorodu.
AFRIPOST had earlier reported that a bungalow classroom block of the public school caved in on Thursday evening.
In a recent report, the Special Committee on Rehabilitation of Public Schools (SCRPS), on Friday, described the incident as sad news, while the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu ordered immediate relocation of pupils to nearby schools to ensure their academic activities are not disrupted.
SCRPS also disclosed that the affected classroom block had already been slated for demolition to make way for a larger facility to accommodate the school’s growing student population.
According to the statement, the demolition was planned to construct a befitting classroom edifice that will accommodate the huge population of students in the school.
According to a report, a team of SCRPS officials will visit the school to conduct an on-the-spot assessment in order enable the government to work out modalities, to begin immediate construction of an ultra-modern classroom block, that will accommodate the huge population in the school.
