Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) spokesman, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem said the General Manager, Gbolahan Oki supervised the exercise.<\/p>\n

Oki stressed that dilapidated and distressed buildings did not fit human habitation and could collapse at any time.<\/p>\n

The GM said 70 of such buildings have been identified and will be pulled down. About 20 of the structures are on Lagos Island.<\/p>\n

LASBCA assured that due process would be followed on Non Destructive Tests (NDTs) to be carried out on affected buildings.<\/p>\n

The structural integrity test will determine if the buildings can be renovated or demolished.<\/p>\n

Oki reiterated the government\u2019s zero tolerance for building collapse, adding that all code regulation in Lagos will be strictly enforced.<\/p>\n

This includes the stipulation that all buildings above two floors obtain insurance, as contained in the Building Regulations 2019 (as amended).<\/p>\n

Oki warned developers and property owners to always involve LASBCA at different stages of construction works and get requisite approvals and completion certificates.<\/p>\n
