The cause of the collapsed fence is that the contractors ate into the foundation of the UBA fence that fell on them.
“The best we could do is to sensitise the people to know what to do and also to call on stakeholders those approving agencies, Development Control, Engineering Services to ensure that they give the proper approval and ensure that they monitor constructions going on in all allocations.“The approval is supposed to be in phases.
