Saturday, October 5, 2024 -The parents and family members of Ojiyovwin Salvation, a Primary 2 pupil, are now lamenting the untimely death of their son at Eghereka Primary School, Ewu town in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.
Salvation
met his untimely death yesterday when the block of six classrooms that
collapsed fell on him and injured three others.
According
to reports, the dilapidated building collapsed under the heavy rain.
The block
of six classrooms, which was without a roof, was said not to have been in use
just as prompt efforts led to the rescue of the other pupils.
Delta State
Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has sent condolences to the family of the pupil
who died.
The
commiseration was contained in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Festus
Ahon, who described the incident as most unfortunate.
“We have just received a report of an
unfortunate incident. The Governor commiserates with the family of the deceased
pupil, the management and staff of the school, as well as other pupils injured
in the unfortunate incident,” he said.
While appreciating prompt
efforts that led to the quick rescue of the injured pupils, Governor Oborevwori
said the Local Government Council Chairman, Dr Lucky Avweromre, has visited the
scene to provide necessary support to the surviving victims of the building
collapse and also visited the family of the deceased pupil.
He stated
that words were inadequate to fully comfort the grieving family over their sad
loss and prayed that God Almighty would grant the families, the school and the
community the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss and that God’s consoling
presence would comfort them in these trying times.
