The General Manager of the Lagos State Building Control Agency, Gbolahan Oki, has blamed the collapse of a two-storey building in the Mushin area on the use of substandard materials.
Oki said the owner of the building will be prosecuted for violating an earlier stop-work order of the government and breaking the seal put on the building.
According to LABSCA’s spokesperson, Olaoye Olusegun, the agency’s General Manager, Oki “explained that preliminary investigation on the two-storey building with an illegal attachment which collapsed under construction thereby affecting a nearby bungalow indicated that substandard materials were used for the infrastructure.”
