Ogun State Government has inaugurated a committee to conduct integrity tests on various school infrastructures as part of efforts to provide a conducive and safe learning environment for students across the state.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Science, and Technology, Professor Abayomi Arigbabu stated when he led the team from the Education and Housing Ministries to inspect a collapsed building at Agbado District Comprehensive High School, Ifo.

Professor Arigbabu explained the committee would quickly move around the schools across the state to carefully evaluate the viability of the existing structures to ascertain the possibility of usage alongside the newly rehabilitated and constructed ones.

He noted that the construction of the collapsed eight-classroom building started in 2007 and had not been put into use because the present administration in the state could not guarantee its desirability for usage.

Professor Arigbabu gave the assurance that the present administration would not entrust its projects into the hands of any contractors without the requisite capacity to meet up the standard required by the government.

In a reaction, the Principal, of Agbado District Comprehensive High School, Junior, Mr. Ayodeji Ogunleye, lauded the two Ministries for the quick response, promising to do all within their capacity to maintain school infrastructure.
