SANWO-OLU ORDERS DEMOLITION OF 2-STOREY BUILDING, SEALING OF OTHERS IN OTHERS
By ‘Leke Yusuf
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has ordered the immediate demolition of a two-storey-building located on 310 Close, in Banana Island, Ikoyi, as well as sealing of other buildings in the area.
Sanwo-Olu, however, blamed the collapse of the earlier seven-storey-building on First Avenue, in Banana Island on what he called “reckless” operations of some developers hiding under the pretext of Federal Government agencies issuing building approvals for unsuspecting property owners.
Sanwo-Olu made the remark on Saturday, when he led a delegation of government officials for an on-the-spot accessment of the area, describing the situation as “irresponsible and unacceptable.”
Sanwo-Olu was conducted round the inspection tour by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Tayo Bamigbose-Martin, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, General Manager, Lagos State Building Control Agency, LABSCA, Gbolahan Oki, and other engineers.
