    FG Orders Probe Into Jos Building Collapse, Vows To Punish Culprits

    In response to the tragic collapse of the Saint Academy School building in the Busa Buji area on Friday, July 12, 2024, the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, has ordered an immediate and thorough investigation.

    In a statement by Mark Chieshe, SA Media & Strategy to Minister, FMHUD, the Plateau State Controller of the Ministry has been tasked with determining the cause of the collapse and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.

    Minister Dangiwa expressed deep sorrow over the incident, attributing it to the negligence and unethical practices of certain individuals during the construction process.

    “This is another devastating tragedy for our nation. Each collapse means another family torn apart, lives irreparably damaged. The students were simply seeking education and paid the ultimate price. This is intolerable,” he stated.

    The Minister emphasised that a full-scale investigation is underway. “I have mandated an investigation, and we are determined to uncover the truth.

    Unlike past incidents where accountability was lacking, this time, those responsible will face severe consequences. While we cannot bring back those we’ve lost, prosecuting the guilty will serve as a strong deterrent,” he affirmed.

    The National Emergency Management Authority(NEMA) reported that over 40 students have been rescued from the debris, with many receiving treatment in Jos hospitals.

    Dangiwa extended his deepest condolences to the bereaved families and wished a swift recovery to the injured.

    “This tragedy is a national loss, and we stand in solidarity with the affected families. We urge healthcare workers to do their utmost to save these precious lives,” he added.

    Dangiwa also highlighted the Ministry’s commitment to preventing future collapses by enforcing building standards and regulations.

    He warned developers involved in the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates projects to adhere strictly to these standards.

    “The Ministry will collaborate with government agencies to enforce building codes rigorously. Our goal is to ensure that Nigerians can live, work, and learn in safe environments without fear of building collapses,” he concluded.
