President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, has promised to assist survivors of the Saint Academy Jos school building collapse to recover from the tragedy.
At least 22 people died in the July 12 tragedy, while several others were injured.
Tinubu made the promise in Jos on Friday, during a visit to the site of the building collapse and the hospitals where the injured victims were recuperating.
The president’s son, who was represented by the National Chairman, Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Mr Belusochukwu Enwere, said the visit was to ascertain what actually happened.
“I am here to convey a message of hope to all those injured, wishing them a quick recovery so they can return to classes and pursue their dreams. We pray for the souls of those who died to rest in peace.
“I am here to see what is happening first-hand and to report back to him. We aim to render assistance to the students.
“We will do everything possible to ensure that the injured receive proper care and return to school. This is sacrosanct because the situation involves the lives of students, youths, and our future, the future of our children, and our country,” he said.
He assured me that the unpaid bills would be taken care of for the students to be discharged without any issues.
He advised builders to follow due process and adhere to specified building standards to avoid such mishaps in the future.
