The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has commiserated with victims of Plateau State school building collapse.
The party in a press statement on Saturday signed by its party’s National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka, said the party is deeply saddened by the news of the collapse of the Saint Academy School building.
“We send our heartfelt condolences to the families of the innocent lives lost and best wishes for speedy recovery to those injured by the tragic incident.
“The incident is unbearably heartbreaking as the children and adults killed and injured were in the place they were supposed to be, in school, doing exactly what was expected of them.
“We urge the Plateau State government to enforce building control standards more vigorously in order to guarantee safety and prevent a reoccurrence of a tragedy of this kind.
“We commend the emergency response led by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), and other agencies, including medical personnel that conducted the rescue, evacuation and treatment of victims of this horrific incident.
“May God grant the departed eternal rest and may He comfort the families they left behind”.
