The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Ondo State has decried the ‘collapse’ of the Mega School under construction in Okitipupa Local Government.
The party said it was sad that a building under construction was already falling apart.
In a statement by its Director of Publicity, Gbenga Akinmoyo, on Wednesday, ACN said: "The uncompleted structure in Okitipupa local government has just been reported to have collapsed.
"We have been extremely critical of this lofty idea because it goes against the grain of proximity to the pupils, who fall into specific catchment areas and ought not to travel long distances to reach their primary school.
"Can you imagine the reasoning behind one Mega School in each local government, which will ultimately displace and discard the existing school infrastructure and system?"
Commissioner for Information Ranti Akerele said the building did not collapse.
He said the contractor handling the project was only trying to make some modifications by redesigning part of the building.
Akerele accused the ACN of peddlling unconfirmed report.
He said: "I wonder why ACN members are after negative reports and not the good things that Governor Olusegun Mimiko has done. Their mission is to run down a performing government and they will fail.
"The Mega School is specially designed to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. It is an idea that should be commended by every sane indigene of Ondo State."
