Wife of the Governor of Lagos State, Bolanle Ambode, on Friday described the collapsed building which claimed the lives of some school pupils at Ita-faaji area of the state, as a very sad incident.
She also prayed for the repose of their souls.
In a statement signed by a spokesperson from her office, Folashade Kadiri, Mrs Ambode lamented that it was most unfortunate that young pupils in the course of education should meet such a tragic fate.
She said: “As a mother I feel pained and sad that little pupils in the course of education should meet such a tragic fate.”
Ambode said sad occurrence like this could be prevented, if property developers adhere strictly to building code and integrity, stressing that lives were too precious to sacrifice for economic gains.
She prayed that God would comfort the families of the deceased children, bring quick recovery for the injured and prevent a recurrence of such fatal tragedy.
