Lagos Restricts Working Hours On Building Sites To Prevent Building Collapse by Biodun556(op): 5:00am On May 16, 2025
LASG RESTRICTS WORKING HOURS AT BUILDING SITES

The Lagos State Government has restricted working hours at building sites statewide to the hours of 7.00 am to 6.00 pm, Monday to Saturday.

This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, in Alausa on Thursday.

He said that the restriction order must be strictly adhered to by all those involved in building construction in the State, as relevant Government Agencies would enforce compliance.

However, concession to work outside these hours could be granted, subject to a formal application that would be treated on its merits.

Olumide said that the move to restrict working hours at building sites was expedient to protect the environment, combat building collapse, and promote social well-being and wellness.

He urged residents to report any site found to be violating the order.

Working hours isn’t the reason why building dey fall in Nigeria. It’s the greediness that’s in average Nigeria blood..

I’ve been to several Africa countries and I can confirmedly tell you, they mostly build their houses overnight and building no dey fall..

Hmmm

This policy does not cover the grey areas.

Some builders (I dare not call them engineers) will not allow a newly decked building to cure properly before commencement of another floor.

Now tell me how this policy will mitigate that.

There should be a time frame for things like, Foundation, DPC level, Lintel, Roofing, Decking and the likes.

This policy tends to cater more for heath and safety of workers than the building itself.

Apparently, poorly designed buildings,using substandard materials, cutting corners is fine during the working hours mandated. It must be from a scientific study undecided!!

Okoo,it suppose to be nation wide because labourers working longer hours more than their strength could carry will have have a dangerous affect on the project.

Is it that people in public offices are dumb or what? What correlation do working hours on building sites have with building collapse? Shouldn't they rather insist on government approved building standards and close supervision of building sites?

What's the correlation? Instead of you guys to enforce strict building standards and codes you are enforcing rubbish

Welcome idea, Laskidi, others will follow
Re: Lagos Restricts Working Hours On Building Sites To Prevent Building Collapse by CaptainFM1: 12:45pm On May 17, 2025
It's even good for security reasons. Thieves hide in construction sites at night so they can rob in the middle of the night.

How does this make sense ? grin

Except you add this to the gbegiri

You are very correct my sister, it takes a minimum of 3 week for concrete to strengthen up but the builder will not allow that due to greed.

No mind them. They always tackle the wrong thing.
In saner climes construction (especially road repairs) is mainly at night so as not to dusrupt everyday life

If u are serious 90 percent of buildings in Lagos island should have been sealed. But as long as a corrupt govt can get tax, votes and thugs from an area any nonsense will be permitted in such areas
