At the Government Girls Senior Secondary School in Potiskum, a classroom wall collapsed, resulting in the death of one female student and the injury of four other students.
The incident was verified to the media on Thursday in Potiskum by Dr. Bukar Bukar, who serves as the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education.
According to him, there were fifty kids that were enrolled in Senior Secondary 2 in the block, which consists of two classrooms.
He said, “A section of the block of classrooms came down the corridors, and unfortunately, five of our students were affected.
“One of them gave up along the line, and four of them are in stable condition according to the medical doctor.”
To prevent a repeat, Bukar said the ministry was expecting a comprehensive report from the school and that the Ministry of Housing has formed a committee to investigate the fall.
