The Prelate described Dennis Memorial Grammar School, DMGS, Onitsha as the pride of the Anglican Church, calling on all the old boys whom he said are at the frontiers of nation building to come back and show that they can do greater things, just as he called on government to carry them along in the cause of the investigation as the church needs protection, dignity and respect.
Responding, Bishop Nwokolo thanked Bishops of Province Of The Niger for their solidarity, prayers and support, saying that what happened is regrettable as they did not envisage such.
The Bishop said he has set up a high powered panel of enquiry led by Justice Pete Obiora to investigate and determine the cause of the collapsed building with terms of reference.
