According to him, pupils and teachers were moved to other classrooms since the last academic session, and the board is investigating why they were still found in the unsafe building. He warned that those responsible would face sanctions.
Akinwumi added that the government has adopted stronger roofing materials in school projects to reduce the impact of storms. He said new buildings now use high-gauge aluminium sheets, a measure that has helped to cut down storm damage in recent years.
