The Lagos State Government under its Building Control Agency (LASBCA) says it has identified 10 structures in the state that will be demolished due to their distressed levels.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Friday by the Head, Public Affairs, LASBCA, Adetayo Asagba.
According Asagba, the buildings were marked for being structurally distressed and unsafe for habitation.
The development came on the heels of the demolition of a distressed building located at 47 Jebba Street, Ebute-Metta, Lagos State.
The General Manager, LASBCA, Gbolahan Oki, who spoke during the enforcement exercise, commended the efforts of the community leaders, youths, and residents of the areas for cooperating with the enforcement agents of the agency.
Recall that Lagos State is one of the few states with the most frequent cases of building collapse in recent times, the latest being the collapse of a 3-storey building that claimed several lives.
