  • COREN recommended continuing construction under enhanced professional supervision and strict compliance with approved engineering standards.

  • According to COREN, the collapse occurred on July 24, 2026, while fresh concrete was being placed on the canopy.

  • The investigation found that the contractor had not engaged registered relevant professionals, including engineers and architects.

  • COREN identified temporary formwork and construction sequencing as probable factors; tests found the standing structure technically adequate.
  • Government is not in a hurry. We want quality project execution, and we will carefully study the recommendations and implement them to their logical conclusion.
    — Manassah Jatau, Gombe State Deputy Governor, speaking about the COREN investigation and the commitment to quality and safety in public infrastructure.
