The Lagos State Government has expressed shock over the unfortunate collapse of Bungalow housing Odokekere High School in Ikorodu, Lagos, saying it is highly regrettable.
The LASG which made this statement through the Special Committee on Rehabilitation of Public Schools, SCRPS, said it
regretted the unfortunate incident. It made clarifications that the affected classroom block had earlier been identified and officially marked for demolition.
According to a classified information from the SCRPS office, the structure was slated for removal to pave the way for the construction of a modern classroom edifice designed to accommodate the school’s growing student population.
The government also confirmed that no casualty was recorded in the incident, and stressed that all students are safe and in good condition.
In response, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has directed the immediate relocation of students to nearby schools to ensure that academic activities continue without disruption.
Meanwhile, a team of officials from the Special Committee on Rehabilitation of Public Schools is scheduled to visit the school today for an on-the-spot assessment of the incident.
This assessment will enable the government to finalise modalities for the immediate commencement of construction of an ultra-modern classroom block that will adequately serve the needs of the school community.
