She said the laboratory test, located at the premises of the state ministry is been managed by Public Private Partnership arrangement between the State government and a private firm.

In his speech, Chairman of COREN, in the state, Engr Victor Onyeanyana Meju, while certifying the hub, said they were already utilising the laboratory facility in carrying out their investigative work on the collapsed two-storey building that claimed the lives of two carpenters at Oraifite, Ekwusigo Local Government Area and others buildings in the state.

Engr Meju outlined the benefits of the testing laboratory to the people and contractors and said they were currently working with ministries to see how to deploy its use throughout the state to cover residential, commercial, and religious buildings including banks, hotels, supermarkets and the rest.

He further enjoined all stakeholders to give full support to the safety venture towards realising the goals for which it was established.
