The Chairman, Royal Estate, along LASU-Igando Road in Alimosho Local Government, Isheri-Olofin, Lagos, Williams Adeyemi and it’s residents had tendered sincere and unreserved apology to the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) and its Mosan Okunola, District Head, Arc. Sayo Omisore over a misleading statement published in the Punch Newspaper on Friday, July 26th, 2024, on page 11, titled “Residents Alleged Brutalisation as Lagos Intensifies Building Control.”
According to the Chairman on behalf of the residents, the apology was deemed necessary in order to clarify their stance, rectify any misunderstandings, and express our profound regret for the distressed and reputational damage that the publication may have caused to Arc. Sayo Omisore and LASBCA in general.
“The statements made in the publication do not reflect the collective views or intentions of the residents of Royal Estate. I acknowledge that the claims made in the article were not only factually inaccurate but also conveyed sentiments that were neither fair nor just to the persons and institutions involved” he stated.
“First and foremost, it is important to state unequivocally that the Royal Estate community holds LASBCA in high regards and the Agency’s mandates to enforce Building Regulations and ensure the safety and structural integrity of properties across Lagos State are both necessary and commendable. We recognize the challenges faced by LASBCA in performing its duties and the critical role it plays in safeguarding the lives and properties of residents within Lagos. The work that LASBCA does is crucial, and as responsible residents, we are committed to supporting their efforts in any way we can” he added.
