UMUOBA ANAM, ANAMBRA — Residents of Umuoba Anam in Anambra State have called for urgent intervention over a school building that is reportedly collapsing and posing a threat to students and staff. Community members said the condition of the structure has worsened and now raises serious safety concerns.
According to residents, parts of the building have continued to deteriorate, increasing fears that the structure could fail if immediate repairs do not take place. They said pupils and teachers still use sections of the facility despite visible signs of damage.
Community members expressed concern that the situation could lead to an unfortunate incident if authorities fail to act quickly. They urged the state government and relevant agencies to inspect the building and provide emergency support to prevent any danger to students.
Residents also noted that education remains a vital part of community development and said children should not be forced to learn in unsafe conditions. They called on public officials and stakeholders to prioritise the rehabilitation or reconstruction of the affected structure.
