The Lagos State Building Control Agency, LASBCA, yesterday said it has pulled down 30 out of the 80 distressed buildings marked for demolition on Lagos Island.

General Manager, LASBCA, Mr. Olalekan Shodehinde, told the News Agency of Nigeria, that the demolition would come in phases because some of the buildings are subjects of litigation.

He said the demolished buildings were located at Elegbata Street, Apongbon; Tokunbo Street, by Glover; Inabiri Street, Egatin Street, Ojo Giwa and John Street, among others.

Shodehinde said that the 80 buildings were marked for demolition following the collapse of a three-storey building on March 13 at Ita Faji area of Lagos Island in which 20 people were killed.

The LASBCA boss said:

“The motive is to sanitize and rid Lagos of distressed and dilapidated buildings in a bid to stem the era of building collapse in the state.

“But presently, nothing is happening at the area and the demolition is suspended waiting for the report of the investigation committee"

He said the agency was working to formalise the processes that would facilitate official collaboration with professional bodies and non-governmental organisations in the fight against building collapse.

“Before now, there exist some informal collaborations, but with the current formalisation process which is still at the proposal stage, the collaboration will become stronger and officially recognised too"

Shodehinde appealed to residents and all stakeholders to assist government to actualize its objective of creating a safer Lagos by reporting noticed substandard building constructions and dilapidated structures within their locality to the agency for necessary actions.

So it is our hatred that is bring down those buildings? I just tire for u

This notice likely signifies the end of the demolition exercise!

The habit of not following matters through is so deeply
Entrenched in our Systems that it’s likely a divine intervention that can help or God forbid another avoidable disaster!

What do they mean that there are existing litigation matters etc etc? I would expect that once a building is distressed it should come down irrespective of any legal matters but this is Nigeria!
