Lagos State Government has said it is intensifying its efforts to reduce the incidences of building collapse as the rainy season approaches.
It said no effort would be spared in getting rid of derelict buildings across the state.
The General Manager, Lagos State Building Control Agency, Gbolahan Oki, said this during the demolition of distressed buildings located at, 17b, Odo Osun Street, Off Glover Street and 20 Omididun Street both on Lagos Island on Sunday.
A statement from the Assitance Director /Public Affairs, LASBCA, Gbadeyan Bello, titled ‘Building collapse: LABSCA, LASPPPA intensify preparations ahead of rains… Demolish more distressed buildings on Lagos Island, others’ said.
Oki said that the demolition exercise was scheduled for Sunday because of traffic congestion and for ease of moving the demolition equipment by the officials of the agency.
He recalled that the occupants of the buildings had been served different notices since 2019 with a reminder notice sent to them two weeks ago to vacate the buildings in order not to continue to endanger their lives and that of their neighbours.
