    200 Students Trapped In Collapsed School Building, Plateau Govt Says

    By Gloria Lamar JohnsonJuly 12, 2024
    Collapse Jos School

    ABOUT 200 students were trapped in the school building which collapsed on Friday morning, according to Plateau Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr Musa Ashoms.

    This newspaper reports that Saints Academy, a secondary school in Jos, collapsed on Friday, while students were writing their third term examination.

    Ashoms, who visited the scene in the company of other commissioners, including that of secondary education, said the school had a total population of about 400.

    The commissioner said part of the school that collapsed was accommodating about 200 students.

    ”The collapsed building has resulted in casualties, and injured students are still being evacuated to hospitals. We cannot however, ascertain the exact number of casualties until the evacuation is completed

    “The emergency workers are doing a lot in the rescue efforts. The Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has urged the medical personnel in the hospitals to ensure that they save the lives of survivors.

    “They should not ask for money or anything because this is an emergency situation,” he said.

    Happy Birthday

    The commissioner, however, said the incident had underscored the imperative of order 003 of the state government, which was meant to enforce the implementation of the Greater Jos Master Plan, to prevent such unfortunate incidences.

    According to him, the collapsed school building, which is was built on a waterlogged area, clearly did not meet construction standards.

    Ashoms said that the Jos Metropolitan Development Board (JMDB) would ensure that faulty buildings were brought down, while ongoing constructions would henceforth conform to standards.
