The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on the government to prioritize student safety by ensuring all educational institutions undergo integrity tests.

This appeal follows the recent school building collapse in Jos, Plateau State, which highlighted the urgent need for action.

NANS President, Pedro C. Obi, issued a statement in Abuja, expressing deep sympathy for the affected families and demanding a thorough investigation into the incident. He emphasized the necessity of holding those responsible accountable and the importance of stringent enforcement of building codes and regular inspections to prevent future tragedies.

“This tragic incident underscores the longstanding negligence in our educational system. We must act now to prevent further loss of life due to dilapidated school infrastructure,” Obi stated.
