LASBCA BEGINS REMOVAL OF  DISTRESSED BUILDINGS IN LAGOS ISLAND, MUSHIN, OTHERS

Officials of Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) have commenced the process of removing distressed structures in Lagos Island, Mushin and other areas across the State as part of efforts to control building collapse, prevent avoidable loss of properties and save lives.

The affected buildings include units of three and four flats in Oke-Arin and Doherty Streets of Lagos Island and four-floor one-unit residential buildings in Idi Araba areas of the State among others.

The exercise according to the General Manager of LASBCA, Arc. Gbolahan Oki is part of the routine mandate of the agency to bring to the lowest minimum the incidence of collapsed buildings and avoidable death of Lagos residents.


Speaking on the initial efforts made to ensure that the occupants of the affected buildings vacated the distressed structures, Arc. Oki who was represented during the evacuation exercise by the Director of Enforcement, LASBCA, Mr. Olusoji Olaopa, said that the agency had marked the building as unfit for habitation earlier and the occupants were expected to have vacated the building for their safety and the safety of others around them.

Oki stated that the evacuation and partial demolition carried out by the agency became necessary in order to compel the occupants of the distressed buildings to relocate to safer accommodations, explaining that the evacuation and partial demolition exercise was the last move by the agency before the final demolition.

He averred that the distressed buildings were identified based on inspection and monitoring exercises carried out by relevant Supervising Directors attached to different Districts across the State, assuring that the exercise was been carried out according to stipulated laws and not as a witch-hunt for anyone.

In his words, “The administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu frowns at the avoidable loss of lives and property of residents of the State. It is time for Lagosians to take their safety seriously and avoid blaming government at all times”.
Arc. Oki assured Lagosians that the agency will relentlessly continue to pursue its vision and goal of ensuring that all buildings across the State are fit for habitation and constitute no risk to other nearby structures.

One of the residents of the affected buildings in the Oke-Arin area of the State, Mr. Rabiu Jamiu affirmed that the officials of LASBCA had earlier served evacuation notice to the occupants of the building, adding that the landlords were also advised to carry out an integrity test on the buildings in order to ascertain their structural integrity.

Jamiu, who claimed to have lived in the affected building for about 13 years, said that the move of the government was for the safety of all. 
“It is painful but because I don’t have where to keep my belongings for now or where to stay with my family members, my wife is in the house packing out loads and our children have gone to school but life goes on because this move is also for our safety”.

Meanwhile, the officials of LASBCA have sealed a Warehouse in Mushin under construction for not obtaining necessary approvals as well as a building under renovation along Palm Avenue Mushing for contravening required approval processes.

Very good move to save lives

"A stitch in time saves nine."

At least, this is proof that LASG was not targeting a particular group of people at Alaba earlier this year.

Ohanaeze, Oby Ezekwezili will not come out now and defend these people that their houses is about to be demolished. But let this same operation get to places where their kinsmen stays and you start seeing several write ups about hatred for igbos.

Be like say all this type of building don reduce for Ebute Metta....

Of a truth, the building is not giving, it needs to be removed Asap.









Do well to check my signature.

Our Jews wannabe people are just nuisances, to them hatred and jealousy is a way of life. They can't stand it when others are prospering, dey think say Yoruba dey compete with them... People wey dey their own lane dey do dia thing.

Only Igbo people dey force others to call themselves Igbo. Yoruba people no send, na everyone dey use dia own mouth talk say dem be Yorubas, From Igala people to Benin Republic...as far as Brazil, Togo, to Cuba. Yoruba no dey force dem to call themselves Yorubas...it comes freely.

I will advise our Nigerian/Biafran Jews to stop forcing Igbos on people that are unwilling to be Igbos (Many of them are afraid of the bad reputation of the Igbos...all of them dey avoid una like plaque) Na only una get this problem, from Anioma, Ikwere, Ijaw to Asaba, those ones say Dem no be Igbo.😁😜😁😜😁😜😁

Yoruba is a race of black people whose culture is supreme and a way of life, you can't kill it.

Ok

Good move. They should also check mainland tooo.

A stitch in time saves nine.

he should also woo our subsidy back to us.

If they are actually serious, it means they will have to clear the whole of Mushin because almost the entire area is a slum.

Those are easy targets for the government.

Charity they say begins at home. The people who live in such dilapidated structures do so because of their current economic condition.

What is the government doing to provide opportunities for the economic transformation of the lives of these people? As these people are moved out, what compensation is to be paid either to the building owners or the ejected tenants by the so called welfarist government?

What about the lives lost daily in Lagos due to bad roads and dilapidated hospital facilities?

As for the tribalistic fools (Ibo this, yoruba that) on this forum who are less concerned about the social issues therein please make Una try get sense small.... Una don dey old small small. A fool at forty is a fool forever.

Lol.

Yoruba is supreme.
But same Yoruba Muslims believe religion supercedes isese festival. Lol or is isese not your heritage.

Until you live your life without masturbating on other cultures. You will always have insecurity and failures as your necklace.

If we check you now we would see that you have never really progressed.

Truth is progressive Yoruba people know that to be successful you need to love Igbo people and learn from them.

Thank God even the north knows business is for Igbo but try to make power theirs. At the end no dividends.

But you can see the dividends of business in Igbo culture.

If you see an Igbo beggar then know he is truly blind.

Igbo people have no issues. They are very resilient and humble. They do not try to impose religion or culture instead they learn to adapt to yours. That is why they live among the most bizarre cultures.
Igbos live in Saudi Arabia peacefully and some so called Muslims can not even live there because of the laws.

Igbos are great people.
They love peace.

You can not compare the peaceful nature of igbos with any culture

Igbos have been in Lagos for over 100 years and constitute a large percentage but you hardly hear they take up arms to fight.

In agege in lagos state where notherners plenty they fight almost monthly or even weekly


Igbos live in the north the core parts of it. But you hardly hear that they were attacked for religion issues. They respect their host.

Igbos are so kind that after making wealth they build roads for host communities and give them light. We have many bureau de change notherners who are billionaires but will never build a house instead they rent.
This is selfish behavior and that is why agege in lagos has really seen no positive change.

Igbos even go to the extent of allowing inter tribal marriage a sign of peace.

Igbos love business and even teach Yoruba people. I know an Igbo man who trained many Yoruba people. Talk of selfless service.

Igbo man has no reason to destroy it's host in the next 1 million years. That is why he does investment that will span a life time. Buildings and constructions.
Go to kano, Abuja and lagos and see wonders
You can not say this of Yorubas in the east or Northerners in the east or west. Most do not really love their host.

The only issue igbos have is being igbos.
Igbo is now synonymous with success.

I once predicted that Igbo will only rule when there is a natural disaster from the north.

Lol

Chaii Is Gone
Gbese

Ok

Good one from LASG

They just like attention. Igbos dont realize that they are their own problem

Lagos state government should encourage yoruba people to start building new houses, old houses are so much in all Yoruba dominated areas of lagos it causes scarcity of houses In lagos. The area's you will see new houses in lagos are areas dominated by Igbos & other tribes in lagos
