Simisola Kosoko, widely known as Simi, has expressed her sorrow and outrage over the collapse of a secondary school building in Busa Buji, Jos North Local Government Area, Plateau State.

According to the *Daily Sun*, the tragic incident occurred on Friday, resulting in the deaths of 22 children and injuries to 132 others in Jos, the capital of Plateau State.

Reacting to the catastrophe on her X (formerly Twitter) account, Simi attributed the disaster to gross negligence and a pervasive disregard for human life in Nigeria.

“All those babies just gone like that because of people’s negligence. The worst thing about Nigeria is the lack of value for life. The things people die for are so maddening,” she lamented.

Simi’s poignant remarks underscore the urgent need for enhanced safety measures and greater accountability to prevent such avoidable tragedies in the future.
