OGSG Sets Up Committee to Conduct Integrity Test on School Infrastructure

July 18, 2023 • 2 min read

The Ogun State Government has reiterated its determination to ensure conducive and safe learning environment for students across the state, as it constituted a committee to conduct integrity test on various school infrastructure.

Speaking during the inspection of a collapsed building at Agbado District Comprehensive High School, Ifo , the Special Adviser to the governor on Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, who led the team from the Education and Housing Ministries said the governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun had earlier directed that a formidable committee be put in place to cater for school maintenance and rehabilitation.

Prof. Arigbabu said the committee would quickly move round the schools across the state to carefully evaluate the viability of existing structure to ascertain the possibility of usage alongside the newly rehabilitated and constructed ones.

He noted that the construction of the collapsed 8-classroom building started since 2007 and had not been put into use because the present administration in the state could not guarantee its desirability for use. Arigbabu, therefore, gave assurance that the present administration would not entrust its projects in the hands of any contractors without requisite capacity to meet up the standard required by the government.

He said, ”The incident happened on Saturday and there was no casualty of any sort, there would be quick intervention soon to replace the collapsed structure.

“We are setting up a technical committee to quickly ascertain the viability of similar structure in our schools which we inherited and still meticulously working to confirm their desirability for usage because we are so conscious about the safety of our children and would stop at nothing to protect them and make them comfortable in the course of learning.

“I appreciate the school management and the entire staff for being diligent, hardworking and supportive”.

In his reaction, the Principal, Agbado District Comprehensive Junior High School, Mr. Ayodeji Ogunleye, applauded the two ministries for the quick response, promising to do all within the school management’s ability to maintain school infrastructure.
