 LAGOS STATE GOV. PROMISES TOUGH MEASURES TO PREVENT FIRE OR BUILDING COLLAPSE


Lagos State Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu says he will take tough but necessary decisions to prevent the rising cases of Fire and building collapse in the state. 


The Governor stated this while inspecting the Great Nigeria House 22 storey building that was gutted by Fire and collpsed ten days ago.


He said the integrity of the portion of the building which is still standing cannot be guaranteed, resulting in the delay in the commencement of excavation to clear the debris.


He instructed the Lagos Building Control Agency to as a matter of urgency clamp down on substandard buildings responsible for the continuous building collapse and Fire disasters.


While commiserating with the families of the victims, the Governor solicited the cooperation of Federal agencies and other multi national companies for technical expertise in bringing down the building for immediate commencement of excavation. 


So far, eight bodies have been recovered.
