The General Manager of Lagos State Materials Testing Labouratory, Olufunsho Elulade, discusses the agency’s activities and its efforts to enhance construction regulations in the state in an interview withThe state has witnessed numerous incidents of buildings collapsing.

The lack of competent professionals also contributes. Also, in the latest Banana Island collapse at First Avenue, Ikoyi, the reason for the collapse was a result of this same prevention because Banana Island residents don’t allow government officials to come in, believing that it is under the auspices of the Federal Government and National Inland Waterways Authority, among others. We can see the consequences because Lagos State Building Control Agency, Lagos Material Testing and Safety Commission could not do their jobs.
