……..appreciates whistleblower.
The Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has commenced the removal process of a non-conforming building situated at 25, Igbehin Adun Street, Makoko, Yaba in the interest of Public Safety.
Investigation revealed that the developer of the building failed to adhere to the building codes and regulations of the State, specifically, the developer neglected to obtain the requisite permits before embarking on the construction project,a violation that not only undermines the integrity of the building process but also poses significant risks to the would be occupants and surrounding community.
In his response, LASBCA’s General Manager, Arc Gbolahan Oki, expressed his gratitude to the whistleblower who brought this non-compliant structure to the Agency’s attention.
Oki recognized the vital role that vigilant citizens play in identifying potential hazards and ensuring the well-being of their communities. Encouraging a culture of “see something, say something,” he emphasized the importance of active public participation in preventing building collapses.
He assured that the Agency would continue to do its best by intensifying its monitoring activities in the State.
