The Ebonyi State Government has set up a five-member committee to investigate the recent collapse of a three-storey building under construction at Plot 32, Udensi Nnodo Housing Estate, Abakaliki.
The incident, which occurred on Tuesday night around 8:30 pm, resulted in critical injuries to two individuals.
Led by Enyinnaya Eni, the committee is tasked with identifying both the remote and immediate causes of the collapse and recommending measures to prevent future incidents.
The State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, represented by the Commissioner for Capital City and Urban Development, Sunday Inyima, inaugurated the committee on Thursday.
He emphasized the importance of integrity and diligence in their work, warning against any attempts to undermine the investigation.
The committee, consisting of Enyinnaya Eni, Chinaza Nwekete, Mrs. Esther Nwite, Ugbo Obasi, and Mrs. Cordelia Agbo, has been given a two-week deadline to submit its report.
