The Senior Special Assistant to the President on pupils’ Engagements Sunday Asefon has called for comprehensive medical care for pupils who incurred varied degrees of injury after the school collapse in Jos, Plateau State’s capital.
During the solidarity visit, Asefon mourned individuals who died in the extraordinarily destructive school building collapse, calling their unexpected departure as sad and regretful.
A recent abrupt building collapse at a primary and secondary school academy in the Busa-Buji village, Jos North Local Government Area of the state, resulted in no less than 22 fatalities and 132 injuries.
In a statement made available on Tuesday, Asefon claimed to have visited the survivors in the Plateau Specialist Hospital in Jos, Bingham University Teaching Hospital, and Our Lady of Apostles Hospital, among other care facilities.
Asefon, who engaged the Chief Medical Directors of the hospitals, appealed to the staff of the medical facilities to put up their best professional skills and rescue those who sustained severe injuries in order not to increase the death tally.
