Friday, December 12, 2025 - Some residents of the Agric-olope area of Ado Ekiti are calling for the urgent assistance of Governor Oyebanji after the roof of a government school in the area, St. Francis Catholic Nursery and Primary School, damaged their buildings after it was blown off during a rainstorm
The incident which happened during a heavy downpour on
Sunday affected four buildings, leaving the owners helpless.
The victims confirmed that all efforts to get the support of
the government have been unsuccessful as the government officials
in all the places visited, including the State Emergency Management
Agency, SEMA, claimed that it was a natural disaster hence they should bear the
damages.
Two women, whose houses were badly affected, explained that
aside the roof, all their home appliances, documents and other valuables were
drenched with water which got into the house through the damaged roof.
“The rain destroyed not just our roof but our windows too.
We are struggling to survive and don’t know where to start,” one of the women
said.
The victims called on the Ekiti State Governor, Biodun
Oyebanji to intervene and provide support for them to cushion the cost of
fixing their property.
Investigation by our correspondent as confirmed by some
members of the community shows that the school which was blown off had just
been inaugurated in 2023 but the building materials are suspected to be
substandard.
