Obi\u2019s message was contained in a release on Thursday morning signed by his Media Adviser, Valentine Obienyem.<\/p>\n

While praying to Almighty God to grant the souls of the dead eternal repose, Obi expressed worry at the continued incidence of collapsed buildings across the country. He called on relevant agencies and organisations \u201cto double their efforts towards seeking lasting solution to the menace.\u201d<\/p>\n
Concluding, the former Anambra State Governor urging public authorities at all tiers to take the issue of mass housing seriously to avoid Nigerian citizens taking up accommodation in uncompleted buildings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
