Disaster trailed IVL yesterday

Whose fault could this be?

Could it be the fault of the School authority, or the fault of the construction engineers?

We can’t say for sure but what we know is that a fatal error could have rendered our female students (at Delta state university, Oleh Campus) homeless had it not been the intervention of rapid response.

The roof renovation that has been going on at the IVL (Isoko Venture Limited) female hostel had good intentions but met a fatal wrong prediction which led the contractor to completely remove the former roof so that a new one could be constructed . The error proved disastrous as the heavy down pour of rain experienced yesterday penetrated and flooded the rooms; destroying the properties (food and documents included) of our girls.

The affected students, as at yesterday, were lounged at the H&O Hotel.

The female students, in their distress, blamed the contractors for not issuing them an evacuation notice. At least, a notice that would have urged the students to temporarily pack their belongings to other rooms, or better still the overall construction should have waited until school is on holiday.

Campus Echoes urge that the rehabilitation should be hastened up so that the affected students can return to their hostels and prepare for their exams. See more pictures after the cut:
