Imo Film Academy Collapses Just A Day After Commissioning

It's been confirmed that Imo state film academy which is headed by
actress Nkiru Silvanus and was commission some days ago by governor
Rochas Okorocha has collapsed.

Reports have it that the building collapsed as a result of
substandard material, however the state commissioner for Information,
Engr. Chidi Ibe confirmed the incidentbut said it was as a result of
an accident. According to him;

"There was nothing like collapsed building. It was a trailer carrying
a heavy generator and while trying to drop the equipment behind the
Film Academy, one of the trailer's tyres pulled and the trailer fell
on the building. The impact of the trailer's fall led to the collapse
of the building,"

According to reports by the National Gazette "Workers and eye
witnesses at the complex told our correspondent that they came to work
on Monday morning to find the edifice completely razed to the ground."

No life was lost but we hope that it didn't collapse as a result of
substandard materials because it would be a thing of shame for the Imo
state government and they pumped in lots of money into it. Governor
Okorocha donated N100million to the academy on the day of the
commissioning.
