A nine-storey building under construction collapsed in Asaba, Delta State, killing one worker and injuring several others. The Delta State Government has sealed the site and launched an investigation into the incident. Concerns about construction quality and lack of approvals have been raised by local residents.
A nine-storey building under construction in Asaba, Delta State, partially collapsed on Saturday, resulting in one fatality and several injuries.
Eyewitnesses reported that the deceased was operating a cement mixer on the ninth floor when the structure gave way. Concerns were raised about the construction quality and whether proper approvals had been secured.
The Delta State Government has since sealed the site and initiated an investigation to determine the cause of the collapse. Commissioner of Urban Renewal Michael Anoka confirmed the probe and promised to make the findings public.
This incident follows a series of recent building collapses in Nigeria, including a fatal incident in Lagos earlier this week and a school building collapse in Plateau State that claimed multiple lives.
Experts attribute these tragedies to substandard materials and unprofessional construction practices.
The recurrent nature of these events highlights the urgent need for stricter regulations and enforcement in the construction industry to prevent further loss of life and property.
