 Rescue efforts have saved some, but a number of bodies have since been recovered from the debris. The Saints Academy College in Plateau State collapsed shortly after students, many of whom were 15 years old or younger, arrived for classes, shortly after emergency services were deployed to the scene. State Governor Khaled Mutfwang has said the collapse is a wake-up call. Building collapses are becoming common in Nigeria, with more than a dozen such incidents recorded in the last two years.
