April 23, 2023 12:32 PMBabajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos governor, has ordered the demolition of illegally built structures in Banana Island.
Akosile said the governor blamed the collapse of the seven-storey building on the ‘reckless’ operations of some developers who get illegal approval from government agencies.The governor blamed the federal ministry of works and housing and the National Inland Waterways Authority for allegedly granting an extension of the line of Banana Island.
“It is way in front there and you can see that several extensions have been granted by both the federal ministry of works and housing and the National Inland Waterways Authority . These are the two federal agencies that have been culpable for those extensions.“They have done these extensions even without our knowledge. We have the responsibility for building approvals and from what I have been told, all of the four buildings around the collapsed building never applied for approval.
The governor further disclosed that an external seven-man committee has been set up by the state government to independently ascertain the remote cause of the recent building collapse.
