Prevalent mindset will perceive that it is an engineering mistake. But such disasters occur due to low quality raw materials used in construction for cost cutting and corruption and its deadly for the populace who are the main user/consumer of the projects which have been awarded to be carried out with inferior materials

Especially in counties like Nigeria where even expired bridges, carriers and link roads are been managed on a regular basis. The government should borrow a leaf from this huge devastation which includes the destructions of lives and prosperities.
