Kwara Govt Seeks Damages Report From Ansar-Udeen College After Devastating Rainstorm

Date: 2025-03-13

The Kwara State Government has requested the management of Ansar-Udeen College, Ijagbo, located in Oyun Local Government Area, to submit a list of properties damaged during the severe rainstorm that struck the community on Monday.

The disaster left over 100 residents of Ijagbo town homeless as the storm caused widespread destruction, including the roofs of educational institutions, residential houses, and market stalls being blown away. The damage has resulted in significant losses to both public and private property.

This move by the government aims to assess the extent of the damage and facilitate appropriate relief measures for affected individuals and institutions.

The rainstorm wreaked havoc on Ansar Deen College, Ijagbo as more than 10 classrooms were affected, leaving students and teachers stranded.

It was gathered that the storm, which struck around 4 p.m. on Monday, tore off roofs and exposed classrooms to the elements, damaging essential learning materials and disrupting academic activities.

The school principals, Olaniyi Musbaudeen and Saheed A.M., appealed to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq for immediate intervention to restore the damaged infrastructure.

“We are deeply saddened by this disaster. The destruction of these classrooms poses a serious threat to our students' education.

“We urgently need the government's support to rebuild,” said Mr. Musbaudeen.

Saheed echoed the call for help, stressing that a delay in reconstruction could have long-term consequences on students' academic progress.

The State Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Lawal Olohungbebe, who visited the school on Wednesday, conveyed the heartfelt message of the governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, reassuring the school and the broader community of the government's swift response to restore the affected facilities.

He emphasised the administration's commitment to ensuring a conducive learning environment for students and teachers alike.

Olohungbebe said, “The school principal should make available to the Ministry of Education the list of property damaged by the rainstorm so as to make urgent repairs so that Students will not be learning in a dilapidated and unconducive environment.

“I want to assure the school management that their concerns, particularly regarding staff shortages, would be addressed promptly to ensure uninterrupted academic activities,” he said.

The inspection included a thorough assessment of the damaged classrooms and other facilities within the school while the commissioner also interacted with the school leadership to understand their immediate needs, particularly the pressing issue of staff shortages, which had significantly affected the school's performance.
