The agency said many notices were sent to the occupants of the buildings as far back as 2016 but they kept harassing its officials.
The Lagos government says it will demolish 17 “distressed” buildings in Alaba international market in Ojo LGA of the state.
He said that his visit was to issue final warnings and vacation notices to occupants of the buildings marked for demolition. “He added that rather than following due process in pulling down the structures and replacing the buildings with new ones, the occupants of the buildings had continued to occupy the buildings to their detriment.”
Mr Oki said that the government will continue to place a premium on the lives of residents of the state regardless of their locations, stressing that the life of a Lagosian is of greater value and cannot be traded for financial gains or profits.
