The Lagos State Building Control Agency said it has identified and marked 70 noticeably dilapidated and highly distressed buildings within the state, which would be removed to further prevent building collapse that could lead to loss of lives and property.
Oki further reiterated that “the government has absolute zero tolerance for building collapse,” hence, all building codes and regulations within the state would be strictly enforced, including the need for all buildings above two floors to obtain insurance, as contained in the Building Regulations 2019 .He warned building developers and owners to always involve LASBCA in their construction project, by seeking authorisation to commence building, after obtaining all necessary permits.
On the demolition of the partially-collapsed building, Oki said it had become necessary to immediately remove them, as they were dilapidated, distressed and not fit for human habitation.
