UDS: Storey building under construction on campus collapses

A storey building under construction at the city campus of the University for Development Studies (UDS) in Tamale collapsed last Saturday (6 May) during a rainstorm.

The scene had been cordoned off when Graphic Online visited the campus on Sunday (7 May).

There was no casualty, university officials said. The incident happened at night, at a time there were no workers on site.

The UDS city campus runs graduate programmes and hosts the newly established School of Business and the Institute of Distance Education Centre.

The new structure under construction, said to be a six-storey building is expected to help solve the infrastructure deficit on campus, university officials said.
