The Vice Chancellor of BSU, Prof. Msugh Moses Kembe, who confirmed the incident to newsmen in Makurdi, noted that it happened when there were no activities in the complex. “No life was lost except the damage to some property in the wing of the building and structural destruction of the complex itself,” he said.
Kembe also informed for the purpose of clarity that the affected building is not an ongoing project contrary to misinformation being peddled that the structure is one of those whose contracts was awarded in 2013 when the university accessed a N3 billion Tetfund high-impact intervention for upgrading of facilities in public institutions.
Kembe however noted that steps have been taken to restrict access into the remaining part of the building while an integrity test would be carried out on all buildings and structures completed on the institution’s campus recently, especially those funded through various interventions.
