Corruption jave eaten deep into Nigeria psychic. Without urgent attention, corruption will bury this country into oblivion. How can a building supervised by government agency collapsed. Either it is not supervised or they have collected bribe.

The building should have been inspected by the city engineer's office if it was fully built with solid materials as reflected in the blueprint. I hope it insured against disasters.

It's possible they might have use inferior materials to build the house? Hence this is the result they get.

That might just be the case here. Workete and contractors on sites are always criminal minded stealing things on ground

It's bad the right materials might be corrupted. Hoping the contractor is charged as the primary suspect. Greedy people deserve no mercy.

Yes that's what should always be done. The people should always insist that the right materials and at the right amount should be used
