The Lagos State government has given the assurance that it will do its best to give the best medical attention to those already rescued from the building which collapsed on Wednesday in Lagos.
This is as it emphasised that efforts were in top gear to rescue others trapped.
A floor of the three-storey building was occupied by a school and pupils were in class when the disaster occurred.
The pledge of the state government was given by the Deputy State governor, Dr Idiat Adebule, when she visited those being treated at General Hospital, Marina, Lagos.
Her words: “We commiserate with the families of the affected pupils and staff.
“We are urging parents, who are anxious to see their children and wards, to allow medical doctors and government’s rescue team to do their work in rescuing and protecting the lives of the victims.
“We are also assuring you that the state government will do its utmost to ensure that the best medical attention is given to those that have been rescued so far.
“We are also intensifying efforts to safely rescue other pupils and staff that are still trapped.”
