The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), has urged the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun to carryout reevaluation of model school built by the former governor of the state Ibikunle Amosun across the state.
The group appealed to the Governor to destroyed weak ones among the model school built by his predecessor in order to avoid loss of lives in the event of collapsed building.
The National Public Relations Officer, Adeyemi Azeez, revealed this at a press conference held in Abeokuta the state capital.
The group alleged that their findings revealed that the former Governor of the state had rationed materials while building the model schools.
He said “Our attention has been drawn to some uncompleted model schools in Ogun state, built by the former administration of Governor Ibikunle Amosun, scattered across the state, some of which are now very weak after it has suffered abandonment and dubious construction materials rationing from the same government which initiated their building”.
“We request that a thorough check is carried out on this structures as we advise the state government to pull down the weak ones as a matter of urgency because we won’t wait for it to collapse and kill any of our students.”
The group called for probe into the materials used for the construction of the model schools.
Azeez said “If a house that was built about seven years ago could now be up for demolition as a result of its weakness, then there is a need for a complete probe of the materials used in building such structures and how much was expended on same structures”.
It could be recalled that Governor Abiodun last week at the town hall meeting on the 2020 Budget announced the government’s resolve to demolish the Model School at Ilaro because of structural defect.
The students’ body suggested that “any of these structures found lacking quality materials should be named after Gov. Ibikunle Amosun before it is finally pulled down, as the same thing should be done to other heartless leaders in the country who have prioritised selfish gains to quality and human lives.”
