 Former Kennedy Center employees allege leadership delayed roof repairs before citing safety issues in closure decision Former Kennedy Center employees allege that the venue’s leadership knew about serious structural problems well before citing newly discovered hazards as the reason for its abrupt closure this month. The claims were outlined in a letter to Congress from a lawyer representing anonymous whistleblowers. The letter accuses the center’s executive director and chief operating officer, Matt Floca, of failing to prioritize roof repairs and stopping a funded repair plan in April. Floca disputes the allegations, saying recent inspections revealed that water damage had spread farther into the building than officials previously knew.

 LASISMA SERVES NOTICES, MARKS BUILDINGS UNDER TENSION RIGHT-OF-WAY IN ALAGBADO/OKE-ODO


 The Lagos State Informal Space Management Authority (LASISMA) Officials, last week Tuesday, on the directives of the Honourable Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Olumide Oluyinka, staged a strategic enforcement and sensitisation exercise at Alagbado/Oke-Odo axis of Lagos State to address physical planning infractions along the AIT road corridor.


 


Representing the General Manager, TPL Daisi Oso, TPL Emmanuel Seyi Ogunyemi and his team served contravention notices on occupants within the corridor and marked buildings encroaching on the high-tension right-of-way.


 


During the exercise, affected property owners were directed to recess their buildings away from the high-tension corridor right of way, in line with safety and planning regulations. The team emphasised that the action was necessary to safeguard lives and property, reduce environmental hazards and ensure strict compliance with the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law 2019 as amended.


 


Speaking during the visit, TPL Ogunyemi reiterated the Agency’s commitment to proactive monitoring and enforcement, noting that structures built under or too close to high tension lines pose serious safety risks to residents and the wider community.


 


The LASISMA enforcement team, working together with Agbado/Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), later had a fruitful discussion with the Chairman of the LCDA, Hon. Abiodun Jimoh Ejigbadero on the need to strengthen the collaboration on improving land use compliance and promoting sustainable development within the council area.


 


Responding, Hon. Ejigbadero expressed his administration’s readiness to work closely with LASISMA and other relevant agencies to ensure orderly development and Urban aesthetics across the LCDA.


 


The exercise forms part of LASISMA’s ongoing efforts to enforce planning standards in all informal urban and incidental open spaces to promote a safer and more organised Lagos.
