Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has reiterated the importance of professionalism and adherence to building regulations in addressing building collapse in the state. Sanwo-Olu said this at the second edition of the Lagos State Building Control Agency, LASBCA, stakeholders engagement, on Thursday, in Lagos.
The LASBCA stakeholders engagement, which focused on the critical issue of building collapse in Lagos State, had the theme, “Professionalism Across Board in the Built Environment.” “Professionalism in the built environment in Nigeria, particularly in Lagos State, which I represent, is a critical undertaking that demands our attention and commitment. “Our urban areas are experiencing rapid population growth which places tremendous pressure on our existing infrastructural facilities.
“One major challenge we face as a government, is citizens strict adherence to building codes which often translates to complete disregard to building regulations by home owners and developers,' he said. The General Manager, LASBCA, Mr Gbolahan Oki, emphasised the importance of collaboration to improve the built environment in Lagos State. Oki noted the agency had successfully reduced building collapses through its efforts.
