A floating school built in the swampy Makoko area of Lagos State has collapsed. The building that provided classes to children on a lagoon caved in on Tuesday during heavy rains.


It had been out of use since March and no-one was injured. The 58 students who had been taught there had been relocated to the main school nearby, AP reports.

Architect Kunle Adeyemi said the building was a prototype which had been used "intensively" over the last three years and a new building would be constructed to replace it.
