Edward Nnachi, AbakalikiA three-story building, which was under construction at the Nkaliki area of Abakaliki, in the Abakaliki Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, has collapsed. The materials, used in constructing the building, which were alleged to be sub-standard. The PUNCH investigation revealed that no life was lost in the incident, owing to the fact that workers were yet to resume work before the building collapsed. Every building has a town planner, an Engineer, and a professional builder attached but in the course of construction, these people compromised. “We will trace the file to know if it was actually approved for three-story and if it followed the stipulated standard.
