Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Lagos State Government on Thursday restated its decision to demolish buildings that fail its integrity test.<\/p>\n

No fewer than 14 buildings were gutted by fire in Dosunmu Market on Tuesday, resulting to the loss of goods worth millions of Naira.<\/p>\n

During his visit to the scene of the incident, the Lagos State Governor, Jide Sanwo-Olu said, \u201cA lot of residential apartments have been turned to warehouses. I am saying without any iota of doubt that more buildings will go down.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just finished the assessment of a very unfortunate, but preventable disaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccess was denied to the first responder to the fire for a couple of hours. This fire started more than 48 hours ago and is still alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the last count, we have about 14 houses that have been affected, and more may go down after the extensive test.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanwo-Olu said the incident was a result of gross carelessness and could have been prevented.<\/p>\n

According to the Lagos Territorial Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Authority, Ibrahim Farinloye, \u201cThe fire started from the Penthouse of one of the buildings where a man was carelessly refuelling a generator before it ignited the fire and escalated to other buildings. There were many generators in the building that further compounded the escalation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanwo-Olu added that the Dosunmu Market would be closed indefinitely, and that government would assist those affected by the fire to get back on their feet.<\/p>\n

He reiterated that the government will bring down any property that does not conform to the rules and regulations of construction.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cWe cannot allow anyone to put the lives and property of others and the environment at risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are more progressive things we ought to be doing than to be spending scarce resources on avoidable accidents.\u201d<\/p>\n
