The President -General of Nri community, Chief Kelvin Obiegbunam has commended the Federal government for its resolve to utilize the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI) in checking the growing menace of building collapse across the country.
The commendation by Chief Obiegbunam is coming on the heels of yesterday’s burial of three victims of Nnewi building collapse at Nimo, Njikoka Local Government Area.
He noted that many of the documented cases of building collapse in Nigeria are due to the use of defective or substandard building materials, no requisite technical knowledge, non-adherence to building codes and high level of corruption which he said, has ravaged every sphere of the economy.
Chief Obiegbunam regretted that several lives have been cut short as a result of building collapse and urged construction experts to henceforth enforce the required regulations both during and after completion of construction works.
