In furtherance of its commitment for a better service delivery and also eliminate the activities of some impostors in the built environment, the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has upgraded its various Notices usually served on properties.
The General Manager of the Agency, Arc. Gbolahan Oki who disclosed this in his office in Ikeja recently, stated that it is imperative to upgrade the Notices served by the Agency in order to improve on its services while also checkmating the activities of some impostors in the built sector.
Speaking further, Oki listed the upgraded Notices to include : Contravention Notices, Stop Work order, Quit Notice, Demolition Notice and the Seal up Notices.
He added that another Notice, which is ‘Contravention Notice for Distressed Structures’ has also been introduced specifically for distressed buildings in the State.
He explained that the upgraded Notices have been designed with some security features including a QR code which when scanned would authenticate the served Notice and the District it emanated from.
“The code on the QR code is to ascertain that the Notice actually emanated from LASBCA. When scanned, it takes you to the LASBCA website and shows the District where the Notice emanates from.
” With this move, we will able to control unauthorized usage of LASBCA Notices because we discovered that all manners of people use our Notices and it is unacceptable to us.” the General Manager stated.
Arc. Oki pleaded with members of the public, especially professionals in the built sector to cooperate with the agency in its efforts to bring sanity and maintain professionalism in the State.
